Managers who derive a sense of accomplishment and achievement from helping the organization achieve its goals and gain competitive advantages are extrinsically motivated. True or False?

Respuesta :

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Extrinsic motivation refers to initiating an action in response to the external factors which include money, praise, fame, etc. It is a type of operant conditioning in which behavior modification takes place by the reinforcement to increase or decrease a behavior.

On the other hand, in the case of intrinsic motivation reinforcement comes from within a person for example it provides self-satisfaction. And the reward which is triggering a behavior is naturally occurring within an individual.

As per the question, the reinforcement to the managers is the feeling of accomplishment and therefore he is not motivated extrinsically but intrinsically.
