Employee motivation Types



Employee motivation Types 

Any organization needs to understand that all the employees are not similar. They are individuals with different capacities and attitudes.  Effectively motivating your employees will need to achieve a better understanding of the different types and ways of motivation needed.

Organizations need to develop HR development strategies to categorize your employees and apply the right type of motivation to increase the level of employee engagement and employee level of satisfaction.

Some employees respond well to intrinsic motivation, others may respond to extrinsic motivation.



Employee motivation is of two types

01.Intrinsic motivation

Intrinsic motivation means that an individual is motivated from themselves. He or she has the desire to perform well at the workplace because the results are in accordance with his/her attitudes system.

An individual’s deep beliefs are usually the highest motivational factors. Such individuals show common qualities like acceptance, curiosity, honor, and desire to achieve success.

02.Extrinsic motivation

Extrinsic motivation means an individual’s motivation is stimulated by external factors. The rewards and recognition by the organization. Therefore, some people may never be motivated internally, and only external motivation would work with them to get the achievements.

      Employee benefits and perks are granted not by the organization or external party, so these factors are extinctive motivation factors.

    Autonomy, purpose, and mastery are the three fundamental components of intrinsic motivation.
    When individuals can act on their own initiative, believe that their efforts count, and experience fulfillment from mastering new skills, they are intrinsically motivated.

    Of course salary and allowance will play a major role. But we cannot forget the other external factors such as working culture and psychological safety..

    I think, Intrinsic motivation is good. A person can work without stress by working on his self motivation.
