Punished by Rewards
Book • 1993
Alfie Kohn's "Punished by Rewards" critically examines the widespread use of rewards and punishments in various settings, including education and the workplace.
Kohn argues that these systems, while seemingly effective in the short term, often undermine intrinsic motivation and lead to negative long-term consequences.
He explores the psychological mechanisms behind this phenomenon, demonstrating how rewards can decrease interest in activities and how punishments can foster resentment and anxiety.
The book offers a compelling case for fostering intrinsic motivation through autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
Kohn's work has significantly influenced educational practices and parenting styles, advocating for more humane and effective approaches to motivation.
