Overjustification Effect
The overjustification effect describes a phenomenon where providing an external reward, such as payment, for an activity that was previously enjoyed for its own sake can diminish the original intrinsic motivation. This occurs because the individual may reclassify the enjoyable activity as 'work,' which reduces their desire to engage in it without extrinsic reinforcement. This effect can potentially extinguish the intrinsic drive entirely, creating a dependency on external rewards for continued performance.
