Abstract:
This paper examines the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors, with a focus on the impact of rewards and autonomy. Through a meta-analytic review, it aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these factors influence motivation, performance, and overall well-being. This study synthesizes findings from diverse fields including psychology, education, and business management to explore how the balance between intrinsic motivation (derived from internal satisfaction) and extrinsic motivation (driven by external rewards) affects outcomes. Autonomy, a critical aspect of self-determination theory, is emphasized as a key moderating factor in shaping the impact of rewards on intrinsic motivation.
Keywords:Intrinsic motivation, Extrinsic motivation, Autonomy, Rewards, Meta-analysis, Self-determination theory (SDT)
