 WHAT IS MOTIVATION INCENTIVES?

The incentive theory of motivation is a behavioral

theory that suggests people are motivated by
a drive for incentives and reinforcement. The
incentive theory also proposes that people behave in
a way they believe will result in a reward and avoid
actions that may entail punishment.
 Types of motivation

We can boil things down to two motivational types:

intrinsic and extrinsic. Both also have accompanying
subtypes. 
Intrinsic motivation (or internal motivation) 
Extrinsic motivation (or external
motivation) 
Types of Intrinsic motivation
Creative motivation
Physiological motivation
Learning motivation
Achievement motivation
Types of external motivation
Incentive motivation
Fear motivation
Power motivation
Social motivation
 How to use the types of motivation to your
advantage

Goal-setting.
Tell people about your goals.
Create a reward system
Track your progress on a task. 
 Best types of motivation for different scenarios which
increases the productivity
 If you’re a teacher, you can use the motivators as types of
learning motivations. For example, if a student doesn’t like
learning for the sake of it, use an extrinsic method to
encourage studying. Also, remember that some students
will be intrinsically motivated and work hard without
prompting. This could socially motivate other students. 

 If an employee is under performing, find out what their

intrinsic motivators are. You can try to assign them projects
based on what moves them.

You can also use each type of motivation at work. If

you’re a team leader or manager, set clear goals and
track them where everyone can see their progress.
This can spark the team’s sense of achievement
and boost morale. Your team will likely internalize
their desire to succeed and meet these goals.
 Can motivation be negative?

 As you create a motivation strategy for yourself or others,

remember that incentives can either be positive or negative
 Negative incentives will only hurt motivation in the long run.
Exploiting an employee’s fear of failure is negative because it is
linked to a stressful emotion (fear) and avoidance of a negative
outcome (failure). In the long-term, you’re placing a burden on
their shoulders and hurting their problem-solving skills. Plus, you
could risk burning them out.
 Instead, listen for your team’s intrinsic motivators. If a member
loves to learn, leaning into that desire is a positive incentive.
You’re challenging them to do work they enjoy, which keeps them
interested and motivated. Promotions and praise are also great
examples of positive motivating factors.
 Looking forward

 Different motivators work for different people. Knowing

what drives you will help you “trick” your brain into being
productive. You can set up a reward system to build new
habits, boost employee motivation, or find work that
is more meaningful to you. 
 Once you’re equipped with the right types of motivation,
you can do it too. If you need extra support, BetterUp
can help you get started. Together we can find out what
motivates you, so you can rekindle the flame of inspiration.
