 Filipino Motivation

● A number of studies suggest that despite the incidence of poverty in the Philippines,
intrinsic factors remain more important than extrinsic factors.

● Intrinsic motivation - defined as the doing of an activity for its inherent satisfaction
rather than for some separable consequence.
● Extrinsic motivation - primarily focused on external aspirations related to money,
status and image.
