In Episode 14 of "The Intrinsic First Leadership" podcast, we delve into the complex topic of motivation. We discuss various theories of motivation, including Freud's ideas on cell deprivation, Pavlov's classical conditioning, and Skinner's reinforcement theory. The conversation explores the historical development of motivation theories and their applications in organizational settings. We particularly focus on self-determination theory (SDT), emphasizing autonomy, relatedness, and competence as key psychological needs. We differentiate between external and internal motivations, discussing various motivational outlooks, from controlled (external) to autonomous (internal). The concept of choice is highlighted as a crucial element in fostering autonomy.
