Definitions & Opportunities Employability is not just about getting a job. Conversely, just because a student is on
a vocational course does not mean that somehow employability is automatic.
Employability is more than about developing attributes, techniques or experience
just to enable a student to get a job, or to progress within a current career.
It is about learning and the emphasis is less on ‘employ’ and more on ‘ability’.
In essence, the emphasis is on developing critical, reflective abilities, with a view to
empowering and enhancing the learner.
(Harvey 2003)

Extrinsic Any motivation that arises from
sources outside the task itself; these
sources include expected evaluation,
contracted-for reward, external
directives or any similar source
Amabile:1996:115
High levels of ‘external’ motivations lead
to a decrease in creativity
Intrinsic
Any motivation that arises from
the individual’s positive reaction
to the qualities of the task itself
Amabile:1996:115
High levels of ‘internal’ motivations lead
to high levels of creativity
Motivation types – why should it matter?
However whilst ‘intrinsic motivation is conducive to creativity; controlling extrinsic motivation is detrimental to creativity, but informational or enabling extrinsic motivation can be conducive, particularly if initial levels of intrinsic motivation are high.’ Amabile:1984:119
