INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION

According to researchers of Cognitive Evaluation Theory (CET) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT), work motivation can run the gamut from intrinsic (fully internal) motivation to extrinsic (fully external). Generally, those same researchers regard the former kinds of motivation as superior to the latter in work contexts, and argue that they produce greater work satisfaction and improved performance.

YOUR WORK MOTIVATION

In this interactive, you’ll be asked to answer 18 questions about your own work motivation using the Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS; see Tremblay et al., 2009). You will receive feedback concerning your overall levels of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, as well as more specific detail about your levels of identified motivation, introjected motivation, and amotivation.
