INTRINSIC MOTIVATION: means that the individual's

motivational stimuli are coming from within. The individual has

the desire to perform a specific task, because its results are in
accordance with his belief system or fulfills a desire and
therefore importance is attached to it. Our deep-rooted
desires have the highest motivational power.
Below are some examples:
Acceptance: We all need to feel that we, as well as our
decisions, are accepted by our co-workers.
Curiosity: We all have the desire to be in the know.
Honor: We all need to respect the rules and to be ethical.
Independence: We all need to feel we are unique.
Order: We all need to be organized.
Power: We all have the desire to be able to have influence.
Social contact: We all need to have some social interactions.
Social Status: We all have the desire to feel important.

PRIMARY
SECONDARY
GENERAL
Motives which are unlearned , biological and physiological are
primary motives. E.g. Hunger, shelter, cloth, thirst, sleep,
avoidance of pain, sex, air and maternal concern.

The need arises from the basic requirement of life and are
important for survival.

These needs are universal. But vary in intensity from one person to
another. E.g. a child need much more hours of sleep than an older
person.

These needs are also conditioned by social practices such as if it is
customary to eat three meals a day, then the person tend to
become hungry for three time, even though two might be
adequate.




As human society develops economically and becomes
more complex, the primary drives give way to the learned
secondary drives in motivating behavior.

These motives are vague because they are psychological in
nature.
A motive must be learned in order to be included in the
secondary classification.
POWER, ACHIEVEMENT & AFFILIATION, in addition, especially
in reference to OB, SECURITY & STATUS are important.


This needs induces the person to increase the
stimulation.

Neither Purely primary nor secondary.

Not Learned and not physiological
