A housekeeper being paid to clean a home is doing so out of extrinsic motivation. There is an external motivation to perform the task well, in order to gain money. Another example would be cleaning your home in preparation for a dinner party. You want your guests to like your home and tell you how nice it is, so you are motivated to clean it well to gain this praise from others.
