Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider the core idea behind content theories of motivation: they focus on what internal factors drive behavior, such as needs, wants, and desires.
Option a: 'How financial performance affects motivation' — This is more about organizational outcomes or performance metrics than about the internal content that motivates people. It misattributes motivation drivers to external performance results rather than to individual needs.
Option b: 'How people's needs and wants influence motivation' — This directly aligns with content theories, which examine the specific needs, desires, and motives that energize and direct behavior. This is the key concept these theories explore.
Option c: 'How daily operations are managed' — This concerns management processes and organizational workflow, not the psychological content that motivates individuals.
Option d: 'How customer complaints are handled' — This topic deals with customer service procedures rather than the motivational drivers within individuals.
