Preferred term

extrinsic motivation  

Definition(s)

  • Motivation that comes from outside an individual, such as the drive to obtain money or rewards, which provides pleasure that the task that one does to obtain the reward does not provide in itself. Extrinsic motivation might cause a person to work on a task even when he or she has no interest in it because the anticipated reward for doing the task provides satisfaction (e.g., the paycheck). [Source: The SAGE Glossary of the Social and Behavioral Sciences; Extrinsic Motivation]
