LaTasha is a high performer. Recently, her organization has begun to provide recreational facilities, an on-site day care, and stock options for all employees

What is wrong with these new programs? Will they likely motivate LaTasha to a higher level of performance?
A) No, they won't motivate her. They are group rewards not tied to her performance,
B) Yes, they will motivate her. Everyone likes on-site day care.
C) No, they won't motivate her. They are too closely tied to her performance for her to be comfortable about the reward.
D) Yes, they will motivate her. The fact that she is a high performer shows that she will appreciate stock options.
