Basic Principles
• “enjoyment-based intrinsic motivation, namely how creative a person feels when working on the project, is the most pervasive driver [of discretionary effort].”Example: Open Source Software Development
• “we’re intrinsically motivated purpose maximizers, not extrinsically motivated profit maximizers.”
Limited Uses for Rewards
Autonomy
• People perform better when they can choose:– Task – what they do– Time – when they do it– Team – who they do it
with– Technique – how they
do it
Mastery• “Even in low-autonomy jobs,
employees can create new domains for mastery.”Example: Office maintenance person
• Mastery mindset:– Incremental theory of
intelligence– Prizes learning goals over
performance goals– Welcomes effort as a way of
improving at something that matters.
