Step 1: Identify the concept being tested.
The question asks for non-financial incentives, the tools a manager uses to motivate employees without relying on money, since employees also have needs beyond pay that motivate them at work.
Step 2: Recall the idea behind non-financial incentives.
Once basic pay and security needs are reasonably met, employees look for recognition, growth, involvement and a good working environment, and non-financial incentives try to satisfy exactly these psychological and social needs.
Step 3: State four non-financial incentives.
Status, giving an employee a higher position or title satisfies their need for prestige and self-esteem. Organisational climate, a positive, encouraging work environment keeps employees more engaged than a rigid or hostile one. Career advancement opportunities, employees perform better when they see a genuine path to growth within the organisation. Job enrichment, giving an employee more challenging, varied and meaningful tasks makes the job itself more satisfying and motivating, independent of any monetary reward.
