Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Content, process, and reinforcement theories of motivation focus on different aspects of motivation at work. Content theories (like Maslow's hierarchy of needs) deal with what motivates people (A), process theories (like expectancy theory) focus on how motivation occurs (B), and reinforcement theories (like Skinner's operant conditioning) look at how behavior is influenced by its consequences (D). Choice C, asking about personality traits, does not fit into these categories as it pertains more to personality psychology and individual differences rather than motivational theories.
