Nothing psych and soc people haven't known for decades--intrinsic beats extrinsic rewards hands down. Japanese business has been catching onto this--this car manufacturers. That's why paying teachers whose students outperform others on standardized tests doesn't work. Great teachers teach well because they are talented, they are passionate about their work and give way above and beyond. Starting teacher's salary is around 40K in Ont. Not much extrinsic there for someone with post grad degree. And most have to work years as supply teachers to get their foot in the door in the first place. We've all been to school--think how you treated supply teachers. Do you think teachers are in the field for the intrinsic or extrinsic rewards? You’re right– about previous bosses– and he’s right.
