🔍 Key Concepts

• Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation – what comes from inside the person (enjoyment, challenge, achievement) vs. outside rewards (pay, bonuses, praise) • Job enrichment / job design – changing the nature of the work itself to make it more meaningful or challenging • Difference between feedback/goals/rewards (management systems) and the content of the job itself

💭 Think About

• First decide: which options are mostly about external rewards or systems (goals, feedback, rewards), and which option is about changing what the work itself feels like day‑to‑day? • Ask yourself: which option would still make the job feel rewarding even if pay and formal rewards didn’t change? • Consider which option is closest to the idea of “job enrichment” – making the actual tasks more challenging, meaningful, or varied.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices mainly involve external motivators (manager actions like praise, bonuses, formal recognition). • Identify which choice involves changing the nature of the job itself rather than how performance is measured or rewarded. • Verify which option best matches the definition of intrinsic motivation: feeling challenged, accomplished, and satisfied by the work itself.
