🔍 Key Concepts

• Task significance in job design and how it relates to a person’s inner sense of purpose • Difference between intrinsic motivation (internal satisfaction) and extrinsic motivation (external rewards, like pay or praise) • How feeling that your work helps others might change how you feel about doing the work itself

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if a seafarer knows their job directly protects lives or the environment, how might that affect their own inner satisfaction with the work? • Which type of motivation describes doing a task because it feels meaningful and important, even if no one is watching or rewarding you? • Look at each option and match the word ‘significance’ with either inner satisfaction from the work itself or outside rewards from others.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of intrinsic motivation vs extrinsic motivation before choosing • Check which options say motivation goes up when task significance increases, and which say it goes down • Ask whether it makes sense that feeling your job truly matters would reduce your internal satisfaction with the work.
