Intrinsic motivation is likely to be higher for subordinates for all of the following reasons EXCEPT ________.

A) the work requires varied skills
B) the work is interesting
C) the work is easily accomplished
D) the work provides automatic feedback about performance

Intrinsic motivation is driven by internal rewards and satisfaction, not by the ease of accomplishing the work. Tasks that are interesting, require varied skills, and provide feedback about performance are more likely to enhance intrinsic motivation because they fulfill psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
