1.0 Literature Review

1.1 Extrinsic motivation

In Self-Determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1985) different types of motivation is
distinguished based on the different reasons or goals that give rise to an action. Extrinsic
motivation refers to doing something because it leads to a separable outcome. Extrinsic
motivation is a construct that pertains whenever an activity is done in order to attain some
separable outcome. Extrinsic motivation thus contrasts with intrinsic motivation, which refers
to doing an activity simply for the enjoyment of the activity itself, rather than its instrumental
value. (Ryan, Kuhl, & Deci, 1997). Because extrinsically motivated behaviours are not
inherently interesting and thus must initially be externally prompted, the primary reason
people are likely to be willing to do the behaviours is that they are valued by significant
others to whom they feel (or would like to feel) connected, whether that be a family, a peer
group, or a society. (Hayamizu, T. (1997).

1.2 Intrinsic motivation

Intrinsic motivation is defined as the doing of an activity for its inherent satisfactions rather
than for some separable consequence. When intrinsically motivated a person is moved to act
for the fun or challenge entailed rather than because of external prods, pressures, or rewards.
The phenomenon of intrinsic motivation was first acknowledged within experimental studies
of animal behaviour, where it was discovered that many organisms engage in exploratory,
playful, and curiosity-driven behaviours even in the absence of reinforcement or reward.
(White, 1959). Although, in one sense, intrinsic motivation exists within individuals, in
another sense intrinsic motivation exists in the relation between individuals and activities.
People are intrinsically motivated for some activities and not others, and not everyone is
intrinsically motivated for any particular task. (Grolnick, W. S., Deci, E. L., & Ryan, R. M.
(1997).
2.0 Theoretical Framework

2.1 McClelland-need of achievement, affiliation and power

In the early of 1960s McClelland claimed that humans acquire, learn their motivators over
time that is the reason why this theory is sometimes called the “Learned Needs Theory”. He
affirms that we all have three motivating drivers, and it does not depend on our gender or age.
One of these drives or needs will be dominant in our behavior. This dominant motivator depends
on our culture and life experiences. The three motivators are :

 Achievement – a need to accomplish and demonstrate competence or mastery

It pertains to a person’s need for significant success, mastering of
skills, Control or high standards
 Affiliation – a need of love, belonging and relatedness

 Power – a need for control over one’s own work or the work of others

McClelland theory is a motivation of employees because it is acquired the needs for

significant the success. There can increase their effectiveness with having a high drive for
success by experience difficulties in managerial positions and making them aware of common
pitfalls.

2.2 Herzberg – Two factor theory

This theory also called the Motivation – Hygiene Theory by Frederick Herzberg in 1959, who
was very interested in people’s motivation and job satisfaction. Based on this, Herzberg develop
his theory that people’s job satisfaction depends on two factors that is factors for satisfaction
(motivators/satisfiers) and factors for dissatisfaction (hygiene factors/ dissatisfies)

 Hygiene factors – salary, working conditions, work environment, safety and security
are unsuitable at the workplace that can make individual unhappy and dissatisfied with
their job. This factors ensure that an employee is not dissatisfied.
 Motivating factors – can increase job satisfaction and motivation based on an
individual’s need for personal growth. This are needed to ensure employee’s
satisfaction and to motivate an employee to higher performance.

Instrument for research variable

For my studies of this issues, I used an interview as my instrument for the term of research.

Example:

a) Question
How do you motivate yourself?
What can make yourself get motivated?
Can you explain the way how you can get satisfaction on your job?
What are the moral support that make you get motivated?
