9. EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION
•Extrinsic motivation comes from outside us. We
do it because we are impelled to, for example
because we are told to by someone who has
power over us.
•Many employment motivation systems work on
the principle of extrinsic reward, where people
are 'bought' and then commanded. Whilst this is
effective for simple activities, it is less useful

10. INTRINSIC MOTIVATION
•Intrinsic motivation is done for internal
reasons, for example to align with values
or simply for the hedonistic pleasure of
doing something.
•In work, people are intrinsically motivated
by working for an inspiring leader or in
areas where they have a personal interest.

11. IDENTIFIED MOTIVATION
•Identified motivation is where a person
knows that something needs doing but has
not yet decided to do anything about it.

12. INTROJECTED MOTIVATION
•Introjected motivation is similar to
intrinsic motivation in that it is
internalized. The distinctive aspect of this
is that if it is not done, then the person
feels the tension of guilt.

NEEDS
•Maslow Abraham postulated his theory of

needs
Self-esteem
Social needs
Safety needs
Physiological needs

17. PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS
•Represent the basic issues of survival
such as food, sex, water and air.
•In educational institutions, most of the
students and teachers' physiological
needs are satisfied by physical
infrastructure of the learning environment
includes good classrooms, adequate
lighting, comfortable temperatures and

18. SECURITY OR SAFETY NEED
•Which indicates the requirement for a secure
physical and emotional environment. This
includes the desire for good hostel
accommodation, being free from financial
worries and sense of secured feeling.
•Security needs of students should be met by
the educational institution by providing job
security, having a strong grievance address
system along with an adequate insurance and
retirement benefit package.

19. SOCIAL NEEDS

existing social support structure. The need for

by encouraging team work, entertaining social
interaction among employees and by

esteem needs for students and teachers by
providing variety of external symbols of
accomplishment such as rewards, academic

21. SELF-ACTUALIZATION NEEDS
•These are placed at the top of the
hierarchy. These needs involve realizing
one's potential for continuous as well as
prospective growth and individual
development.
•As these needs are highly individualized
and personal, administrators find it
difficult to address, both among students

22. IMPORTANCE OF MOTIVATION
•Motivation is an integral part of planning
and managing any educational activity.
•A team of highly motivated teachers and
learners are necessary for achieving the
learning objectives of an institution.
•Motivation helps the students or learners
to dream higher and achieve excellent

direction make full use of their potentials
and upgrade their existing level of
efficiency.
