10. Intrinsic Motivation
It refers to motivation that comes from
inside an individual.
This motivation does not need to have
compensation at the end of a performed
activity.
The person who is intrinsically motivated
will carry out a task just because he likes
and enjoys what he is doing.
11. Extrinsic motivation refers to motivation that
comes from outside an individual.
Rewards such as money or grades provide
satisfaction and pleasure that the task itself
may not provide.
Extrinsic motivation is when someone is
motivated by external factors.
