Question 278General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is A) Generally, the greater the significance of tasks that are performed, the greater the level of intrinsic motivation. This is correct because tasks with greater significance, meaning they have a substantial impact on the work or lives of others, tend to be more intrinsically motivating for employees. When employees feel that their work has meaningful consequences, they are more likely to find the work itself rewarding and engaging, which increases their intrinsic motivation. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the relationship between task significance and motivation. Increased task significance does not lead to greater extrinsic motivation (B), lower intrinsic motivation (C), or lower extrinsic motivation (D).
