Human Resource Management QUESTION #6426
Question 1

The relationship $\text{Productivity} = f(\text{Ability}, \text{Motivation})$ indicates that individual productivity depends on:

  • Only employee competence in performing tasks
  • Only the desire to perform at maximum effort
  • Both competence and desire to perform working multiplicatively✔️
  • Either competence or desire, whichever is higher
Correct Answer Explanation

Individual productivity is a function of BOTH ability (competence in performing a job) and motivation (desire to do the best possible job). If either factor is zero or very low, productivity suffers. Ability can be improved through selection and training; motivation through QWL programs and management practices.
