scholarly journals Investigating Intrinsic & Extrinsic factors of job motivation of Health Network Employees in Kuhdasht city in 2018

Introduction:In recent decades, job strategies are moving forward to motivate employees. Most organizations have tried to use these strategies to improve their efficiency and optimize their resources. For the success of an organization, prominent employees are very important. The purpose of this study was to investigate the internal and external factors of job motivation among employees of health network of Kuhdasht city. Materials and methods: The study was descriptive-analytic and cross-sectional.The statistical population consisted of the healthcare network staff. 309 employees were selected through systematic random sampling. To gather information, the Herzberg questionnaire was used which included the variables of the Intrinsic and extrinsic factors of job motivation.Demographic factors were investigated.Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 20 and Pearson and Spearman correlation, independent t tests and one-way analysis of variance. Findings:The average score of the Intrinsic factors of the job motivation was 56.02 and the standard deviation was 9.4 and the mean score of the extrinsic factors of the job motivation was 80.4 with a standard deviation of 9.02.The average score of extrinsic factors was higher than the external ones. Among the Intrinsic factors, the average score of knowledge and appreciation was higher than the rest of the factors, and in the extrinsic factors the relationship between the factors of communicationand the way of supervision was higher than the rest.There was no significant relationship between age, marital status, place of service and type of place of service with Intrinsic and extrinsic factors score and total amount of job motivation. There was a meaningless relationship between the staff record with the Intrinsic factors and the level of education and the extrinsic factors. The average score of Intrinsic factors and the total amount of job motivation in female employees was significantly higher than that of male employees. The average score of Intrinsic factors among employees with different occupational categories was significantly different and in the staff of the health care and health services was significantly more than the administrative-service staffs. The score of the Intrinsic factors and the total amount of job motivation was related to the type of staff recruitment, and in the staff with the contractual employment was significantly less than other employees. Conclusion:Although attention to Intrinsic and extrinsic factors is important for job inductance,but attention to employees' relationships, the way of their supervision and appreciation of them have of great importance in creating job motivation. Key words:Intrinsic factor, extrinsic factors, job motivation, Employees, Health Network

Objectives:Research shows that weight trends in adolescence persist into adulthood, but do the same factors contribute to weight in adolescence as in adulthood? Are extrinsic factors presumably more important than intrinsic characteristics? This study identifies the correlation between BMI and various intrinsic and extrinsic factors and evaluates their relative importance in BMI development. It compares the primary determinants for adolescents (12-20 years old) and adults (21+ years old).Methods:Using 15 years of panel data, generalized linear models, we assessed the impact of extrinsic-environmental, biological, geographic and household-and intrinsic-sexual activity, substance use, desire to lose weight,etc.-characteristics on adolescent and adult BMI. Multinomial logit models tested the contribution of these characteristics to weight categories.Results:Race and age were the most significant BMI correlates at all ages. This remains true for weight classification as well. For young adolescents, intrinsic factors are highly deterministic, while extrinsic factors play no role. As adolescents age into adults, intrinsic factors continue to be deterministic, while extrinsic covariates also emerge as deterministic. Intrinsic determinates of significance include age of first sexual encounter, tobacco experimentation, perspective on general health, and desire to lose weight (or stay the same weight).Conclusion:While biological/genetic attributes are the largest determinants of BMI at every age, intrinsic factors play a larger role in adolescent BMI development than adults. As individuals age, intrinsic determinants remain important, but extrinsic characteristics contribute significantly to weight classification. Thus, the weight determinants differ between adolescents and adults suggesting different methods of policy intervention be used for adolescents and adults.

Abstract Introduction: Musculoskeletal aging can impair functional performance increasing the risk of falls. Objective: To analyze the correlation between sarcopenia and the intrinsic and extrinsic factors involved in falls among community-dwelling elderly women. Method: A cross-sectional study evaluated the number of falls of 85 active community-dwelling elderly women in the previous year and then divided them into two groups: non-fallers (n=61) and fallers (n=24). The sarcopenia indicators assessed were gait speed (GS, 10m); handgrip strength (HS); calf circumference; appendicular muscle mass index (DXA). Intrinsic factors: Mental State Examination (MSE); visual acuity; depression (GDS-30); hip , knee (Lequesne) and ankle/foot (FAOS) pain/function; vestibular function (Fukuda test); functional mobility and risk of falls (TUG); power (sitting and standing five times); gait (treadmill); fear of falling (FES-I-Brazil). Extrinsic factors: risk/security features in homes. The independent t test was applied for comparisons between groups and the Pearson and Spearman tests were used for correlations (p<0.05). Results: There was a moderate correlation between HS and GS in non-fallers (r=0.47; p=0.001) and fallers (r= 0.54; p=0.03). There was a moderate negative correlation (r= -0.52; p=0.03) between FES-I-Brazil and gait cadence in fallers. There was a greater presence of stairs (p=0.001) and throw rugs (p=0.03) in the homes of fallers than non-fallers. Conclusion: The elderly women were not sarcopenic. Elderly fallers presented inferior gait cadence and a greater fear of falling. Residential risks were determining factors for falls, and were more relevant than intrinsic factors in the evaluation of falls among active community-dwelling elders.

This article was written based on qualitative research on students' motivation in participating in Boy Scout exercises. This article aims to describe the motivation of students in one integrated Islamic elementary school in Pekanbaru to take part in a scout-raising(penggalang) exercise. The sample in this study were 17 students raising, consisting of 9 men and 8 women. Data was collected using direct interviews with students and documentation in the form of program documents, reports and photos of activities. Held in the even semester term 2019/2020. From the results of data processing it was found that in following the Scouting activities students were influenced by several intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors are first the need to be accepted and respected, secondly the hope to develop abilities, and thirdly the interests associated with socialization. Next extrinsic factor is the first family, because of the family background of a member of the scout, the second environment, the environment of friendship students become one of the students' encouragement to participate in scout activities, Thirdly the rewards, these rewards are also a bit of one of the reasons children participate in scouting activities , because of the award given by the school to students who excel in scouting activities, triggers the emergence of student motivation. With these results, it is hoped that advanced scout activities will need to consider these three factors.

BACKGROUND Functional decline refers to increase in dependence towards activities of daily living and is common with increasing age, chronic diseases, and previous hospitalization. We wanted to determine the rate of intrinsic and extrinsic factors of functional decline in different age groups among elderly population and in relation to gender. METHODS The study population was composed of 64 individuals which were above the age group of 60 years, further subdivided into 3 groups: 60 - 70, 70 - 80 and 80 years and above. The validated questionnaire was provided through which the intrinsic and extrinsic factors were determined. RESULTS In all the studied subjects, extrinsic factors had a mean value of 31.24 % while intrinsic factors had a mean value of 28.12 % which indicates that extrinsic factors are more prevalent than intrinsic factors in all the age groups. Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors were more prevalent in the female population than the male population with the prevalence rate of intrinsic factors as 34.37 % in males and 50 % in females and for the extrinsic factors prevalence rate of 39.06 % in males and 54.68 % in females. In age group of 60 – 70 yrs. we found that the prevalence of intrinsic factors was (23.43 %) and extrinsic was (26.56 %), for 70 - 80 intrinsic it was (29.68 %) extrinsic was (32.81 %) and for 80 and above prevalence intrinsic was (31.25 %) and extrinsic was (34.37 %). CONCLUSIONS The study showed that the extrinsic factors contributed more to the functional decline as compared to the intrinsic factors. These findings are important as the functional decline and increasing care needs are potentially modifiable. KEY WORDS Functional Decline, Intrinsic Factors, Extrinsic Factors, Disability

Background – Competent teachers can produce quality education. The problem that exists is the number of teachers in schools who lack motivation, this is due to the low enthusiasm of teachers when teaching in several schools. In addition, teacher workloads that exceed the limit and lack of training to improve teacher skills also lead to a lack of teacher motivation. The solution is the need to increase work motivation from both extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Purpose – To find out the influence of instristic and extraneous factors moderated work motivation on teacher performance. Design/Methodology/Approach - This research method uses a causality research design. The population of the study was 86 junior high school teachers in Poncokusumo District. With the research sample 46 SMP teachers who have been certified. The approach used is quantitative with Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Result and Discussion - The results of data analysis state: (1) intrinsic factors affect teacher performance, (2) extrinsic factors affect teacher performance, and (3) moderated intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect teacher performance. Conclusion – The results of this study are the intrinsic and extrinsic factors which are moderated by motivation have a significant effect on performance. Motivation strengthens the relationship between intrinsic and external factors on teacher performance in junior high schools in Poncokusumo sub-district. Research Implications - This research has implications for the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic factors as well as motivation as moderation on teacher performance

Purpose: The study assessed the influence of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors and students perceptions. While student and teacher-related factors constitute the intrinsic factors, parents and the government on the other hand are examples of the extrinsic factors. This research project focuses on assessing the factors that contribute and influence KMTC students’ performance with an aim of establishing ways to improve their performances in examinations and assessments. Methodology: A mixed and descriptive cross-sectional research design was utilized involving a study of both intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect students’ performance. Findings: The study findings established that both intrinsic and extrinsic had an effect on performance. The study findings established that a unit increase in student attitude can lead to an increase of 0.05 in the scores of student performance. This implies that student attitude had a significant positive effect on student performance. The study found out that a unit increase in intrinsic factors of 0.227 can lead to an increase in students’ performance. This clearly shows that extrinsic factors had a significant positive effect on student performance. The study results revealed that a unit increase of 0.01 can lead to an increase in students’ performance. This shows that extrinsic factors had a significant positive effect on students’ assessment and performance. Therefore, the study independent variables had a strong positive relationship to the dependent variable which was student performance.   Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends for higher learning institutions to integrate both intrinsic and extrinsic factors in their planning. Key Words: Multiple Choice Questions- Multiple choice questions are questions where the respondent is given a variety of options to pick from while answering, Objective Structured Clinical Examination- it is an examination structured to meet certain specific objectives and in this case OSCEs are particularly used in the assessment of clinical officers, Assessment-it refers to the various methods and tools that educators employ in evaluation, measurement and documentation of academic readiness, learning progress, skills acquisition and education needs of a student; Intrinsic factors- refers to those factors that exists within the system (KMTC), they form the internal drive to objectives and cannot be separated from the system. E.g. in KMTC, intrinsic factors includes students’ factors, lecturer factors, institutional factors e.t.c.; Extrinsic factors- refers to those factors that operate outside the system (KMTC) to influence the achievement of an objective. These factors are external and separate entities from the system but have established mutual connections e.g. the government, parents, employers’ e.t.c

Several aspects of polymorphism in Hydractinia echinata (Fleming) have been examined. Polymorphism in Hydractinia appears to be the result of inhibition of the normal developmental sequence and not the result of direct genetic control. The inhibition is mediated by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The former are responsible for the formation of reproductive zooids in the colony, but this process may be accelerated by extrinsic factors (crowding, increased pCO2). It is suggested that intrinsic factors consist of an inducer or growth stimulator produced in the hypostomal region of the polyps and an inhibitor of growth and differentiation produced by dividing cells beneath the hypostome. The ratio of these two factors throughout the colony ultimately determines the polyp type which will be formed.

This study examined the career and learning motivation of students studying a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree programs at universities located in four different countries, namely the University of Hong Kong, National Taiwan Normal University, Peking University, and the University of Copenhagen. The MLIS students from these four universities were invited to take part in a self-completion online questionnaire survey, and 200 responses were collected in total. We discovered that their prior working experience in the library had an impact on their decision to pursue the MLIS program. We also categorized the career and learning motivation factors of MLIS learners into intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and discovered that the participants were motivated by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors to pursue their graduate studies in the Library and Information Science (LIS) field. We found that intrinsic factors influenced the students of University of Copenhagen significantly more than the other student groups, and this could be explained by Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. Our findings can assist with the formulation of development strategies for MLIS programs through a review of the LIS curriculum and help MLIS programs in different countries attract more people to pursue a career in LIS.

From the intentionality-based view, individuals' actual behaviors to initiate a new venture is driven by their entrepreneurial intentions. Company employees have accumulated professionalism and practical experience, which both enable them to discover some unmet market demand and industrial gaps. However, in establishing a new business, not everyone with certain knowledge or expertise has the desire to become an entrepreneur. Prior research has shown that entrepreneurial intentions are under the profound influences of intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors. On the one hand, entrepreneurial self-efficacy is one of the key psychological states that makes someone dare to initiate entrepreneurial activities. Institutional environment, on the other hand, can either enhance and hinder an individuals' entrepreneurial motivation by offering incentives or causing barriers. Little work has been done to understand how the institutional environment and entrepreneurial self-efficacy jointly affect company employees' intention to quit their job and start an enterprising career. By using hierarchical regression on a sample of 325 Indonesian company employees, this paper shows that the entrepreneurial cognition and entrepreneurial self-efficacy are positively related to employees' entrepreneurial intentions. Also, entrepreneurial self-efficacy strengthens the effect of normative Approval on entrepreneurial intention, whereas the regulatory Support from Government is detrimental to company employees' intention to start a new venture regardless the entrepreneurial self-efficacy is high or low.
