Have you heard about the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation before?
This distinction goes back to Deci and Ryan's (2008) Self-Determination Theory of motivation. Extrinsic motivation involves engaging in an activity because it leads to a tangible reward or avoids punishment. Intrinsic motivation involves doing something because it is both interesting and deeply satisfying. We perform such activities for the positive feelings they create. Studies have consistently shown that intrinsic motivation leads to increased persistence, greater psychological wellbeing, and enhanced performance.
Deci and Ryan (2008) assume that humans are naturally self-motivated, curious, and interested but the right conditions need to be in place in order to be intrinsically motivated. The three basic and universal psychological needs of autonomy, relatedness, and competence are foundational for human flourishing and optimal motivation, according to Susan Fowler (2019).
Satisfying the need for autonomy, relatedness, and competence leads to engaged, passionate individuals doing high-quality work in any domain. Therefore, we wanted to share with you some tips and ideas for building the ideal environment to promote intrinsic motivation.
Which of these needs would you like to focus on more, whether for yourself or for your employees? Let us know in the comments.
If you are interested in learning more about increasing intrinsic motivation, head on over to the article “How to Increase Intrinsic Motivation: 20 Foolproof Methods & Strategies” on our PositivePsychology.com blog.

Winellism: Newly engaged couples, before you design your wedding ...realistically process and design what you want your marriage to look like. Identify areas and traits to be addressed individually and as a couple...hell as a family. Understand their family view and construct of marriage and determine if that would have an issue on yours. Sincerely assess your goals, dreams, desires, expectations, fantasies, morals, and values. ASK your partner for theirs AND THEN share with each other. Learn about each other conflict resolution style and practices, their love language ( you are going to have to do this over the course of your marriage so set a goal and practice how often you are going to assess this) as well as your social skill styles and have an interventionist help you understand how this causes you to interact with each other as well as how to work together efficiently. Start therapy right away leading up to your wedding and therapy for 1 to 2 years once you are married. You should schedule maintenance visits every 6 mos and on a yearly basis to nurture your foundation.
I am giving you the blueprint to starve off separation, divorce, and malcontent.
Take your time to do all of this work on the front end so you won't be suffering on the back end. This work will increase your chances of marital success.
Please share with your family.
