Intrinsic motivation comes from within a person who does something for the joy of
doing it without the need for payment or reward. Extrinsic motivation comes from
outside a person, behaving in such a way as to earn praise, money, rewards, or to

motivated by acknowledging their effort when engaged in activities, not the product
or outcome. Potential outcomes of extrinsic motivation include needing a reward,
payoff, or threat to motivate a person to act.
