Abstract
Level of motivation and type of motivation are important when evaluating an individual's overall motivation. Based on the Self-Determination Theory, there are two main types of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is derived from internal reward and enjoyment from completing a task. However, extrinsic motivation is fueled by external rewards or an expected outcome.
