Extrinsic motivation
Extrinsic motivation is an action undertaken because of a reward, punishment, evaluation, pressure or other factor external to the activity itself.
Definition
External motivation is not bad in itself. It can trigger action, organize responsibilities and support goals, especially at the beginning. Its quality depends on whether it remains solely pressure or is partially internalized and connected to values, a sense of meaning or responsibility.
