Which of the following is least indicative of positive motivation in a group of workers?

• A. Their work output becomes consistent and stable.
• B. They volunteer for extra tasks.
• C. They seek feedback and improve.
• D. They consistently meet or exceed targets.

Answer: (A)

Positive motivation shows through actions that push beyond the basics: volunteers for extra tasks, actively seeks feedback to improve, and aims to meet or exceed targets. These behaviors reveal a drive to grow, contribute more, and take initiative. Consistent and stable output, while valuable for reliability, often reflects doing the required work well without necessarily pushing for more. It doesn’t demonstrate extra effort, proactive growth, or a desire to exceed expectations, so it’s the least indicative of positive motivation among the options.
