Intrinsic motivation is a natural urge of the human beings. Individuals are naturally
motivated and perform an act because of their interest. They perform for their
pleasure, own reward, satisfaction, genuine interest in the activity
Extrinsic motivation – In this kind of motivation the source of pleasure does not
lie within the task. There is no functional relationship to the task. Individual
learns not for his own sake, but as a means of obtaining desired goals or getting
some external reward. For example: Honor, money, receiving praise, Rewards,
avoiding punishment etc.

Amotivation means lack of purpose and intentionality in one’s action. It can be
described as absence of motivation. The Individual is not motivated for a
particular activity. If we compare extrinsic motivation with intrinsic motivation,
intrinsic motivation as a source of natural inspiration and stimulation, and brings
better results. Therefore, it is better to use intrinsic motivation. When it is not
appropriate to make use of intrinsic motivation, use of extrinsic motivation should
not be suspended. Type of motivation should depend on learning situation and
nature of the task.
