Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation

Understanding Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation is vital for Zambian tertiary students preparing to lead healthcare teams. This topic defines intrinsic motivation (driven by internal rewards like satisfaction, purpose) and extrinsic motivation (driven by external rewards like salary, bonuses, recognition). Students analyze how to foster intrinsic motivation through meaningful work, autonomy, and mastery, while effectively using extrinsic rewards as supplements. For exams and future management roles in Zambian health institutions, this knowledge helps design balanced motivation strategies that sustain long-term engagement, reduce burnout, and drive high performance among nurses, lab technicians, and other health professionals.
