Abstract

The performance culture of an organization is impacted by the motivation of an organization’s employee. Determining whether or not an employee’s motivation is intrinsic or extrinsic is helpful for organizations to see what is more of a drive in their performance. The following article reviews literature on the subject of employee motivation to determine whether intrinsic or extrinsic motivation is becoming the driving force of business. Upon review, it has been shown that there is a mixed approach in whether or not employee’s motivation is intrinsic or extrinsic. The type of motivation is also based on one’s role within their organization. The implications of the review are given.
