Question
Motivation can be either positive or negative. How?
Solution
There are two types of employees from the point of view of motivation — laborious and shirkers. Those employees who are laborious in the true sense of the word are encouraged with some awards. This is called positive motivation. On the other hand, those workers who are by nature shirkers are encouraged to work with the threat of demotion, suspension or termination. Such people start working because of the fear factor. This is called negative motivation.
