Answer 1

Answer:

Extrinsic motivators (e.g., salary, benefits) are expected, so they decrease motivation when they are missing. Intrinsic motivators (e.g., challenging work, growth potential), increase motivation when they are available.

Basically if a person has a bad salary  (extrinsic motivator) is less motivated to work harder.

If a job is challenging (intrinsic motivator), a person is more motivated to work harder.
