Question

Workers feel intrinsically rewarded if __________​

Answer 1

Workers feel intrinsically rewarded if appreciated, complimented or given credit.

You can fill in the blank with either or all of these options.

Intrinsic rewards are those which cannot be given physically, unlike extrinsic rewards. Extrinsic rewards can include certificates, medals, badges and even a promotion (because money is the physical thing here). Intrinsic rewards on the other hand, are more abstract and include getting appreciation, receiving compliments and being given the credit of getting a task done.  

Both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards motivate employees. Managers use a combination of both to keep their staff motivated, since both encourage employees in differently.

Answer 2

They feel rewarded if their individual differences are acknowledged.

• In an organisation many employees work. They are often from different category, race, and even mindset.
• Individual differences are encouraged, and information is not repressed, resulting in an organisation that provides value to its people.
• Such an organisation focuses on people rather than just extracting labour, resulting in employees feeling intrinsically rewarded.
