Question

To increase productivity, the clown factory decides to have a contest. the person who completes the most clowns on monday does not have to come to work on tuesday. the factory is using __________ as a motivator.

Answer 1

Positive reinforcement is the motivation. When a favorable outcome will occur from one's action, they are more inclined to do that action. So whoever completes the most on Monday, will have the favorable outcome of having nothing to complete on Tuesday, which would be the positive reinforcement in this instance.
