PURPOSE In the light of an increasing healthcare burden, this paper seeks to offer insight about how intrinsic motivation could play a pivotal role in improving the pre-existing healthcare service delivery systems by altering clinician behaviour. The paper argues the case for four salient dimensions worth exploring through the lens of intrinsic motivation--non-financial incentives, positive aff...

Healthcare providers have been facing stress depression especially Egypt, due to COVID-19. In this country, healthcare are looking for alternatives achieve satisfaction as COVID-19 affected their jobs, salaries, incentives, bonuses. The past studies focused on assessing HRM&am...

Reinforcement learning with sparse rewards is still an open challenge. Classic methods rely on getting feedback via extrinsic to train the agent, and in situations where this occurs very rarely agent learns slowly or cannot learn at all. Similarly, if receives also that create suboptimal modes of objective function, it will likely prematurely stop exploring. More recent add auxiliary intrinsic ...

The intrinsic value of an action refers to the inherent sense that experiencing a behavior is enjoyable even if it has no explicit outcome. Previous research has suggested that a common valuation mechanism within the reward network may be responsible for processing the intrinsic value of achieving both the outcome and external rewards. However, how the intrinsic value of action is neurally repr...

The evolution of Internet offers new tools allowing ordinary people to become content creators. One of the latest popular tools is the Internet-based blog. Few previous studies explored and examined user motivations of blogging. In this study, expectancy theory is applied to construct a conceptual framework as well as a measurable model on bloggers’ motivation to blogging. Expert interviews and...

Although extrinsic and intrinsic motivation likely jointly explain the effort of many agents engaged in public service delivery, incentives typically only appeal to the former. In the context of a rural health worker program in India, I develop and test a novel mobile phone app designed to increase agents’ intrinsic returns to effort. At one year of follow-up, the self-tracking app leads to a 2...

The increasing use of self-paced computer and web-based platforms for e-learning work has led to renewed interest in promoting intrinsic motivation. A classic finding motivation literature is the undermining effect: Task reduced when previously presented monetary rewards are eliminated. Efforts prevent effects on tasks have focused adding game-like features, such as points or leaderboards (i.e....

Emotional and arousing treatments given shortly after learning enhance delayed memory retrieval in animal and human studies. Positive affect and reward induced prior to a variety of cognitive tasks enhance performance, but their ability to affect memory consolidation has not been investigated before. Therefore, we investigated the effects of a small, non-contingent, intrinsic or extrinsic rewar...
