Intrinsic Motivation

Intrinsic motivation is the drive to perform an activity for its own sake, rather than for some separable consequence. This can manifest as deriving personal satisfaction and enjoyment from a task, or it can be rooted in a strong personal work ethic, where producing high-quality work is a reward in itself and aligns with one's core values.
