In understanding human behavior, psychologists have long been
interested in what motivates specific actions. Debates have pitted
extrinsic motivators (e.g. rewards/punishment) against intrinsic
motivation in attempting to determine what best motivates
individuals. This book provides a summary view of what research has
determined about both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, and
clarifies what questions remain unanswered. Divided into three
sections, section I revisits the debate about the effects of
extrinsic incentives or constraints on intrinsic motivation and
creativity, and identifies theoretical advances in motivational
research. Section II focuses on the hidden costs and benefits of
different types of achievement goals on motivation and performance.
Section III discusses theory and research findings on how extrinsic
and intrinsic motivators may work in everyday life and over time.
This book is of interest to researchers in psychology, education,
and business, as well as to a wider audience interested in
promoting optimal motivation and performance.
