Understanding the “little treat culture” at work
: The “little treat culture”originated on social media, where users share their daily “small victories” along with their well-deserved rewards: a treat, a new purchase, or a wellness break. These aren’t big rewards, but rather small, accessible ones.
The psychology behind small rewards
Thesmall rewards typical of “little treat culture” are a form of extrinsic motivation; they are used as incentives to complete tasks. However, little treat culture offers only an immediate boost without necessarily fostering deeper, long-term human motivation.
