Looking for rewards

Happy Friday! For some of us, it might be the last working day before everyone goes back to school, so I hope it is a productive and/or fun one for you!

Incentive Motivation is a type of extrinsic motivation which describes when you’re motivated by the reward rather than achieving the goal itself.

Examples of an incentive motivation might include:

• A person who wants a promotion solely for the higher salary, not because the new responsibility makes them feel fulfilled.
• A student who works hard in a class they’re not necessarily interested in because they want a good grade to bolster their overall chances of going to university
• A person who enters a contest for the cash prize that’s awarded to the winner.
• A child who is motivated to clean their room with the promise of ice cream after dinner.

Because there will be a reward to look forward to at the end of the task, people will often become more determined to see the task through so that they can receive whatever was promised. The better the reward, the stronger the motivation!

Can you think of an incentive-based task you’ve been given (or have given yourself) recently? Drop me a message and let me know!

Have a great day in life and business!
