Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research shows that employees are more motivated and committed to their work if their organization aligns with their values and beliefs. Therefore, a company that lives up to a core set of ideals that workers identify with will inspire employees to work harder to help the company succeed. The use of carrots and sticks (A), focusing on extrinsic rewards (B), and providing compensating differentials (D) may motivate employees in the short-term, but these incentives are unlikely to foster long-term motivation and commitment in employees.
