Intrinsic or Extrinsic motivator as desiring a job.
There is a question in the first quiz that asks specifically, the desire to get employment, is it an intrinsic or extrinsic motivator or both. Even though the answer is extrinsic in that the job is an extrinsic goal, and not an internal motivator for the person, the question specifically asks about the wanting or the desire of a job and not the job itself. That wanting is an intrinsic motivator, where the job itself is a whole other subject. Extrinsic being that doing the job is the extrinsic motivator for the person, showing off their skills and getting recognition. Interviewing, preparing, or looking for the job is motivated by the intrinsic nature of the person, and wanting to get the job, I believe, is the actual question being asked.
Jerome, do not go so deep into these questions. The focus here is about filling our funnels of life versus material rewards. Another way of thinking about intrinsic values is if you did not have to work what would you do with your time? For some the task of teaching would be far down their list while for others they would still be involved in teaching in one capacity or another. Bill Gates does not need a job and has more money that he can spend in the remainder of his life time yet he jumps at any opportunity to teach others about technology because teaching is one of his core values. There are many jobs that pay much better than teaching but may not provide as much fulfillment and this is why some instructors are teachers versus doing other things within their industry.
