MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Evie and Priya are discussing their jobs at a coffee shop. Evie believes that higher pay and better working conditions lead to job satisfaction and motivation. Priya, on the other hand, thinks differently. According to Herzberg's theory, what would Priya likely believe about the role of higher pay and better working conditions?

They lead to job satisfaction and motivation

They remove job dissatisfaction but do not lead to motivation

They are the most significant factors for job satisfaction

They are the most significant factors for job dissatisfaction

Answer explanation

According to Herzberg's theory, higher pay and better working conditions do not lead to motivation but they remove job dissatisfaction. This means that while these factors can make employees less dissatisfied with their jobs, they do not necessarily result in increased motivation. Therefore, Priya would likely believe that higher pay and better working conditions only address job dissatisfaction and not motivation.

Alexander, Amelia, and Priya are working on a project to improve their company's work environment. What should be their main focus if they are aiming for job enrichment?

Improving company policy and administration

Increasing their salary and benefits

Providing complete units of work

Enhancing relationships with others

Answer explanation

To improve their company's work environment through job enrichment, Alexander, Amelia, and Priya should focus on providing complete units of work. This means assigning tasks that are meaningful and challenging, allowing employees to take ownership and responsibility.

Improving company policy and administration, increasing salary and benefits, or enhancing relationships with others may contribute to a positive work environment, but they do not directly address job enrichment.
