Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "work-related" test evaluates whether the tort was committed within the scope of the agent's employment, while the "motivation" test evaluates whether the agent's actions were motivated by a desire to benefit the employer. Application of the "work-related" test will result in employer liability more frequently than through use of the "motivation" test, as it is easier to prove that the agent was acting within the scope of employment than to prove the agent's motivation. The plaintiff does not need to prove that the agency was fully disclosed in order to recover under either test.
