    Question

      Read the following passage and answer the next 3 question (Q24-Q26) Motivation is a powerful, yet tricky beast. Sometimes it is really easy to get motivated, and you find yourself wrapped up in a whirlwind of excitement. Other times, it is nearly impossible to figure out how to motivate yourself and you're trapped in a death spiral of procrastination. Scientists define motivation as your general willingness to do something. It is the set of psychological forces that compel you to take action. Most employees need motivation to feel good about their jobs and perform optimally. Some employees are money motivated while others find recognition and rewards personally motivating. Motivation levels within the workplace have a direct impact on employee productivity.

    Which of the following types of employees tend to work

    at higher levels of productivity and strive to develop professionally?
    A employees who are financially motivated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B employees who are intrinsically motivated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C employees who are externally motivated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D employees whose morale is high Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E employees whose morale is stable Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Workers who are motivated and excited about their jobs carry out their responsibilities to the best of their ability and production numbers increase as a result. Within this also, the employees who are intrinsically motivated, i.e. self-motivated perform much higher. They are motivated through feelings of sense of accomplishment and achievement for meeting personal and professional goals. Incentive and rewards have little effect on employees who feel motivated only when they are confident in their abilities and personally identify with their role within the organization. These individuals perform productively for the sake of the personal challenge work provides. Morale may not always lead to higher productivity.
