Answer : (c)
Reason : Herzberg's motivation-hygiene

|
|
Answer : (c)
Reason : The Porter-Lawler model of motivation, which is an improvement of
the expectancy theory, assumes that motivation does not equal satisfaction.
It assumes satisfaction does not lead to performance. Rather, the converse is
true: performance can, but does not always, lead to satisfaction through the
reward process. It assumes that motivation is not a simple cause-and-effect
matter. The model advocates that managers carefully assess their reward
structures and also assumes that performance leads to intrinsic as well as
extrinsic rewards.
