Extrinsic motivation comes from external sources. Extrinsically motivated behaviors can be integrated into self.
Organismic Integration Theory (OIT), as a sub-theory of SDT, identifies 4 types of extrinsic motivations:
Externally regulated behavior: Is the least autonomous, it is performed because of external demand or possible reward. Such actions can be seen to have an externally perceived locus of control.
Introjected regulation of behavior: describes taking on regulations to behavior but not fully accepting said regulations as your own. This is the kind of behavior where people feel motivated to demonstrate ability to maintain self-worth. Introjected behavior is on an externally perceived locus of control because they aren’t perceived as part of self.
Regulation through identification: Is a more autonomy driven form of extrinsic motivation. It involves consciously valuing a goal or regulation so that said action is accepted as personally important.
Integrated Regulation: Is the most autonomous kind of extrinsic motivation. Occurring when regulations are fully assimilated with self so they are included in a person’s self evaluations and beliefs on personal needs. These motivations share qualities with intrinsic motivation but are still classified as extrinsic because the goals that are trying to be achieved are for reasons extrinsic to the self, rather than the inherent enjoyment or interest in the task. OIT proposes internalization is more likely to occur when there is a sense of relatedness.
