Simply put, an individual is thought to be more intrinsicallymotivated the more s/he chooses to undertake an activity in the absence of any outsideinfluences.Extrinsic Motivation In contrast to the markers that identify when intrinsic motivation is in play “extrinsicmotivation is a construct that pertains
