Managers who understand how to increase worker motivation can provide an organizational environment in which employees will be productive. Certain motivational techniques work better in particular work settings than others. Describe school and work experiences in which you have experienced intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Evaluate your performance as it was affected by each type of motivation.

Real life application: Do you think your performance improved as a result of the type of motivation method used? How would you use what you have learned to improve the performance of someone you work with?
