Explain difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation and relationship between 2 motivation

Bill Strong is the founding director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Strong Built Construction Company. After an extensive executive search, Susan Bold has recently appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Strong Built Construction Company. At a recent board meeting discussions arose about profitability and the compensation of executives. The construction industry has been in a downturn due to government austerity measures. Bill has a high public profile and is well-known in the construction industry. His dynamic personality and leadership charisma are attributed to the success of the Strong Built Construction Company in maintaining revenue at similar levels for the last two years, while other construction companies have faced drops in revenue. Although the Strong Built Construction Company has been successful in maintaining its revenue levels, profit before tax has fallen. A recent employee survey revealed falling levels of employee motivation. Members of the board have been questioning the current approach to executive compensation that rewards employees with company shares that are held in trust for three years before employees are able to sell the shares. Bill Strong is trained in economics and argues that the conventional agency theory approach to executive compensation where employees receive monetary benefits helps motivate employees. Susan Bold explains that intrinsic considerations need to be taken into account in determining executive compensation.
