The four theories of motivation are the biological theory, the psychosocial theory of motivation, the biopsychosocial theory and the achievement theory. Everyone has their own motivation in life for further education and career choices. Each person also has intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. Intrinsic is an internal motivation for self-satisfaction. Extrinsic is an external motivation or reward for a person's achievement. Theories of Motivation: Linda was motivated to return to school because she wanted an education that would help her advance in her career or help her transition to another. Linda moved up the ranks in her field and discovered that people with degrees earned more than her for the same position. It is well known that in this day and age, a degree is what an employer is now looking for. She also felt like she was in a state of complacency and needed to exercise her brain. This is the motivation that pushes Linda to continue her studies. Linda believes that achievement motivation is her form of motivation. Linda needs to be challenged. When there are no challenges, she becomes bored and distant. Going back to school was a challenge for Linda. Linda hasn't been to school in over thirty years, and she feels a sense of satisfaction every time she gets a good grade. Obtaining a degree gives Linda the opportunity to be more competitive in her field, having a high GPA gives her the satisfaction of having worked hard and gives her even more of an advantage in the employment field , it’s a goal Linda hopes to achieve. Audra is motivated to continue her education and succeed in school for several reasons. She would like to set a good example for her three children, she wants to succeed and she wants to win ... middle of paper ... at school, her daughter could end up living a life like hers was as a child. She believes that the harder she works and the better her grades, the more successful she will be. Her goal is not to be extremely rich, but to see the smile on her daughters' faces when she comes home to a safe and happy environment. This is Jamie's extrinsic reward. Our team members' motivational theories are Achievement Theory and Psychosocial Theory. Each member of the team has a different motivation to continue their studies. We all also have different intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. These motivators are what motivate us to continue our education and achieve our end goal of obtaining a degree and a career in each of our chosen fields. Works Cited Carpenter, S. and Huffman, K.
