Intrinsic motivation comes from
personal interest or enjoyment in
the task itself and exists within
the individual.

Extrinsic motivation refers to
performance of an activity to
earn a reward or avoid punishment.
Commonly this means a bonus for
meeting goals or punishment for
failure.

Extrinsic rewards only work well
when employees are performing
simple routine tasks. Intrinsic
motivation can result in increased
creativity, loyalty and productivity.
