Project Management Professional Practice Question

During a sprint review, the project manager publicly commends Olivia for automating a test script that cut regression time by 30 percent. According to well-known motivation theories, what impact is this public recognition most likely to have on the rest of the project team?

  • Little changes; recognition is a hygiene factor with minimal motivational effect.

  • Peers are more likely to seek comparable ways to add value because visible praise reinforces desirable behaviours.

  • Others will relax, assuming only top performers receive rewards, leading to social loafing.

  • Most teammates will lose intrinsic drive as external praise crowds it out.
