[All OMSB_OEN Questions]

A nursing director wishes to improve the job performance of a group of medical orderlies who are ineffective in their job.

Using Herzberg's theory of motivation, what would be the most appropriate motivator?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Establishing a respectful therapeutic relationship involves actively including the client's ideas, preferences, and opinions in their care planning. This action demonstrates respect for the client's autonomy and individuality, fostering trust and cooperation. Discussing non-health-related topics may help build rapport but does not directly contribute to a therapeutic relationship. Being congruent and understanding the client's thoughts and feelings are important but are part of the overall communication process rather than a specific action to establish respect in the relationship.

I keep second-guessing myself, but I wonder if A could be a motivator too, since better healthcare might make them feel valued?

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like B aligns more with what Herzberg said about motivating employees through personal growth.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about hygiene factors. Would C really be a motivator, or just a way to make the environment nicer?

I think Herzberg's theory emphasizes intrinsic motivators, so maybe B is the best choice since it focuses on achievement and recognition.

I'm feeling pretty confident on this one. Herzberg said that things like pay and benefits are just hygiene factors, not true motivators. So the answer has to be B - opportunities for achievement and recognition.

I'm a little confused on the difference between motivators and hygiene factors in Herzberg's theory. Is improving their work environment considered a motivator or just a hygiene factor? I'll have to review my notes.

Okay, I've got this. Herzberg said that true motivators are things like achievement, recognition, and opportunities for growth. So the answer has to be B - offering them chances to achieve and be recognized.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I know Herzberg talked about intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, but I'm not totally sure how to apply that here. I'll have to think it through.

I'm pretty sure this is asking about Herzberg's motivation theory, so I'll need to think about what factors he identified as motivators versus hygiene factors.

I wonder if the nursing director could motivate the orderlies by offering them a chance to ride a unicorn to work. That would definitely get their attention!

Ha! Providing them with a better healthcare plan? That's like trying to bribe them with free donuts. Herzberg would definitely not approve of that kind of extrinsic motivation.

I'm leaning towards option D. A break room where the orderlies can socialize with the nurses could help improve teamwork and camaraderie, which can be a powerful motivator.

I'm not sure about that. I think a more comfortable work environment, like option C, could also be a good motivator. Sometimes little things like office decor can really impact morale and productivity.
