Questions: Select the correct answer. A company is struggling to finish the required accounting work for its financial year-end. The employees are unwilling to stay late to complete the work. If the company does not complete its work, it will be in serious trouble. So, the managers decide to pay the staff a bonus for every hour they stay during this period. After the employees worked extra hours for a few days, the work was completed and everyone was happy. What was the incentive for the employees in this scenario? A. job satisfaction B. money C. Company profits D. promotion E. job completion

The answer is B. money

While job satisfaction can be a motivating factor, in this scenario, the specific incentive provided by the company was a monetary bonus, not an intrinsic reward like job satisfaction.

The company offered a bonus for every extra hour worked, which is a direct financial incentive. This aligns with the concept of extrinsic motivation, where employees are motivated by tangible rewards.

Company profits are not a direct incentive for the employees in this scenario. The incentive was the bonus payment, not the overall profitability of the company.

There is no mention of promotions being offered as an incentive in this scenario. The incentive was specifically a monetary bonus.

While completing the job is the goal, it is not the incentive. The incentive is the bonus payment for working extra hours to achieve job completion.
