Well-motivated workers are more likely to cooperate, leading to what outcome in the team?

• A. Increased absences
• B. Better teamwork
• C. Higher conflict
• D. Slower decision-making

Answer: (B)

Well-motivated workers want to contribute and support one another, so they cooperate more by sharing information, coordinating actions, and communicating openly. This teamwork improves because everyone aligns toward common goals, reduces misunderstandings, and moves tasks forward more smoothly. So the team functions better as a unit—better teamwork. The other outcomes are less likely in a highly motivated, cooperative team, where motivation tends to reduce delays and conflict rather than increase them.
