Psychologist points out: rewards are the enemy of exploration. When people have rewards in front of them, they will not venture to take on more meaningful challenges because they feel safe in receiving rewards. They tend to do things that are likely to quickly succeed. Only by doing this can that person be quickly rewarded. When a reward is offered, people’s objective is no longer to finish their mission in a high-quality manner, but to get the reward as soon as possible. The extrinsic motivator of rewards makes people desire quick wins, and so they are unwilling to spend time on exploration.
