Identify and state the incentives about which Agrima, Arunima, and Avika are talking.
Solution
Agrima is talking about the incentive employee recognition. Most people have a need for evaluation of their work and due recognition. They feel that what they do should be recognized by others concerned. Recognition means acknowledgment with a show of appreciation. When such appreciation is given to the work performed by employees, they feel motivated to perform/work at a higher level.
Arunima is talking about the incentive job enrichment. Job enrichment is concerned with designing jobs that include a greater variety of work content, require a higher level of knowledge and skill; give workers more autonomy and responsibility; and provide the opportunity for personal growth and meaningful work experience. If jobs are enriched and made interesting, the job itself becomes a source of motivation for the individual.
Avika is talking about the incentive of employee empowerment. Empowerment means giving more autonomy and power to subordinates. Empowerment makes people feel that their jobs are important. This feeling contributes positively to the use of skills and talents in job performance.
