Q3. What motivates you when you have a job to do that you may not particularly enjoy doing?

The perceived outcomes of any task may encourage me to diligently execute the task. Whenever I have a strong belief that the task in question is likely to yield favorable outcomes, I put extra effort into doing it. Forson et al. (2021) note that the intrinsic drive toward accomplishing tasks is influenced considerably by the perceived outcomes of the task. Individuals will tend to execute tasks that favor their desires and meet their perceived outcomes over those that do not.
