Which of the following best describes Mona's business?A. a firm that relies on high output controls to tap into extrinsic motivationB. a firm that relies on high input controls to tap into intrinsic motivation C. a firm that relies on high output controls to tap into intrinsic motivationD. a firm that relies on high input controls to lap into extrinsic motivation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Letter C is correct. A firm that relies on high output controls to tap into intrinsic motivation.

Explanation:

By carefully selecting the employees of his consulting firm, Mona ensures that each employee's expected competency and skills profile has been met through rigorous selection, which enhances the chances that operational strategies will be more widely deployed and accepted effective.

By setting the expected results, but letting the employees themselves define how to achieve them, it generates an intrinsic motivation, one that generates internal feelings in the individual to want to achieve personal goals, objectives and projects that motivate and stimulate them.
