Which of the following actions would motivate employees by making their job intrinsically more rewarding?

Correct Answer: Option C — Changing the job routine to instill a feeling being challenged or achieving an accomplishment.

Intrinsic motivation stems from the work itself. Changing routines to introduce new challenges or opportunities for accomplishment taps into an individual's desire for growth. Unlike extrinsic rewards, which rely on external incentives, intrinsic motivation encourages long-term engagement and personal satisfaction in performing complex maritime tasks and maintenance duties.
