Answer 1

Motivation has been mainly termed as a factor that drives or pushes one in a certain direction or to behave in a certain way. The term motivation has been derived from the Latin word ‘movere’, which means ‘to move’.

Key Points Extrinsic motivators can help generate interest in an activity and also help individuals that lack basic skills for carrying out a certain activity. Some of the ways in which individuals can be extrinsically motivated are:

Recognition	It is one of the important factors that can lead to an increase in extrinsic motivation in an individual. it may also lead to an increase in the satisfaction that the individual will derive by carrying out his/her work-related activities.
Rewards and incentives	Rewards and incentives can be financial rewards or non-financial rewards. An example of a financial reward would be an amount that is given to the employee for following safety norms in an industry. Whereas, a non-financial reward could be praise or even attention
Punishment:	Punishment can also lead to an individual being motivated. Fear of being penalized may lead to the following of safety behavior by the individual.
External pressure	Pressure from significant others in one’s life like parents, superiors, and so on can also serve as an extrinsic motivator.

Thus, it is concluded that reward and punishment are the basic motivations related to behavior monitoring.
