Intrinsic and Extrinsic
The intrinsic and extrinsic rewards of an ethical organization are tethered to the organizational culture and business ethics of an organization. Based upon the reliability and support structure of each of the four areas needed for ethical behavior, then the organizational ethics will be evident throughout the organization. The organization, the employees, and other entities will receive intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. Actions of employees can range from whistle blowing (intrinsic) to the extraordinary actions of an hourly employee buying all the peanut butter (as produced by his employer), because the labels were not centered, and he knew that his employer (extrinsic) would reimburse him in full.

Famous quotes containing the words intrinsic and/or extrinsic:
“The truth is that literature, particularly fiction, is not the pure medium we sometimes assume it to be. Response to it is affected by things other than its own intrinsic quality; by a curiosity or lack of it about the people it deals with, their outlook, their way of life.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
“Authors communicate with the people by some special extrinsic mark; I am the first to do so by my entire being, as Michel de Montaigne.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
