Abstract
This chapter follows after two chapters concerned with motivation. We have considered the question of whether human motivation is generated primarily by internal needs or drives, or by external incentives and reinforcers. Broadly speaking we concluded that for purposes of studying work motivation it was most convenient at present to adopt some kind of incentive theory, though we anticipated a future resurgence of interest in content theories.
