Question

Paula's management professor just told her class that the final exam is optional for students like her who currently have an A. She decides to take the exam anyway, since she likes the subject and wants to master the material. Paula is motivated to take the exam by a(n) _____. A. hygiene factorB. physiological needC. high need for powerD. extrinsic rewardE. intrinsic reward

Answer 1

Answer:

intrinsic reward

Explanation:

An intrinsic reward is a reward that comes from within one's self.

Here, Paula is satisfied with her grades but due to her own liking of the subject she takes the test. She does this because of own interest. This shows that she is motivated by an intrinsic reward.

If she were to take the test in order to get an A and prove to others her intellect this would be a case of extrinsic reward. The extrinsic reward is the reward done in order to attain external approval i.e., approval from someone other than one's self.
