The relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on job performance and job satisfaction in the industrial setting

This thesis has examined the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on job satisfaction and job performance. The research was conducted in a tool and die company. Four questionnaires were used, with 27 employees serving as subjects. As predicted, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation correlated with job satisfaction and job performance. Of particular interest was the high correlation (r=.81) between intrinsic motivation and job performance. This finding suggests that higher performance levels will be reached with employees who are intrinsically motivated.
