Motivation Tips

Intrinsic Motivation
By:Imran Naseem

There are different types of motivation but one of the most common types of motivation is Intrinsic motivation. This is when a person's motivation comes from inside the individual rather than outside external factors, such as money and incentive rewards. This article explores the different types of Intrinsic motivation and how this can affect a person's motivation and their ability to deal with everyday situations. Therefore, intrinsic motivation is when a person is motivated by internal factors and it is these internal factors that will be discussed in this article and how these can help an individual.

Intrinsic motivation has been studied by experts since the 1970s and research suggests that intrinsic motivation occurs as a result of a person's achievement in something and enjoyment. For example, if a person does well in his/her driving test then he/she will become more motivated to drive in the long-term as a result of this achievement. Another factor that will help an individual increase motivation through intrinsic factors is when a person wants to solve problems on their own as a result of their energy, passion and hard work. Moreover, situations like this can help a person become more and more motivated in the future as a result of the internal efforts of the individual.

Another result of intrinsic motivation is when a person is passionate about something. For example, a person who is passionate about football or soccer would be motivated to either train youngsters play the game or join a local team as a result of their passion. Furthermore, the motivation comes from within the person and this might be down to from an early age or might be down to other factors. Nevertheless, the more an individual uses his/her own efforts to do something the more motivated that person becomes.
