Summary Introduction

Introduction

Incentives are those things we see as being capable of either satisfying a need or of simply being desirable. They are the things we want and/or need. We are often driven to achieve our goals in order to obtain these incentives. Essentially, anything can act as an incentive. It may be something tangible such as money or food. On the other hand, something intangible like approval from peers, bosses, or parents might also incentivize us to reach our goals.
