Answer
A
Explanation
The issue identified in this company revolves around personal development opportunities, implying that the staff are interested in motivation linked to their own personal growth and improvement, rather than financial or extrinsic rewards. They seem to be looking for intrinsic motivation, which is a form of motivation driven by an interest or enjoyment in the task itself, and exists within the individual rather than relying on any external pressure or reward. It seems they are leaving the company due to lack of this kind of motivation. Thus, it means the motivation they lack is intrinsic in nature. Option B (Outcome), Option C (Expectancy), and Option D (Extrinsic), while they also refer to types of motivation, do not correctly describe the nature of the dissatisfaction expressed in the problem.
