Social productivity connotes efficient conduct of social interactions, management of social relations, and coöperative or collaborative social activity. It has also been argued that social productivity is a form of inter-personal exchange founded on the notion of reciprocity. As the activities are socially valued, efforts are expended in return for monetary or non-monetary rewards. Strong internal motivations for engaging in activities, including the need for self-agency and for self-esteem, may help explain why people stay involved in activities, which may not offer monetary rewards commensurate with effort.
