To motivate employees, an organization offers _____ to _____ employees to work toward organizational objectives.

A) punishment; force
B) peer pressure; guilt
C) incentives; encourage
D) rewards; bribe
E) threats; frighten

Incentives are positive reinforcements that encourage employees to work towards organizational objectives. Punishment or threats may work in the short term, but they can lead to negative attitudes and decreased motivation in the long term. Peer pressure and guilt are not effective motivators as they can lead to resentment and negative emotions among employees. While rewards may be similar to incentives, the term bribe implies the use of unethical means to motivate employees, which is not a desirable approach.
