This week we are focusing in on the critical distinction between extrinsic versus intrinsic motivation (for example see Herzberg in the lesson). Watch the TED Talk The Puzzle of Motivation (by Daniel Pink, author of the bestselling Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us), and read the assigned article (“On the Folly of Rewarding A, While Hoping for B” by Kerr). (Fyi, Pink can be a little controversial, in that monetary rewards can play an important role in the workplace. Nevertheless, he does a good job of teasing out the distinction between extrinsic and intrinsic.) Then, please post about how you are rewarded at work, and how you would like to be rewarded. Explicitly bring in both Pink and Kerr. One main post, and respond to at least one classmate’s post (roughly 300 words for your main post).
Discussions are not graded individually (which is why the discussion is set to zero points). But they are required, forming the basis of your Individual Participation grade, which will be awarded at the end of the course.
