Question 1 of 5
Proper hand washing is an example of what category of safety behaviour?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Proper hand washing falls under the category of maintenance of accepted hygiene practices because it involves following established protocols to prevent the spread of germs and maintain personal cleanliness. It is crucial for reducing the risk of infections and illnesses. Other choices are incorrect as A pertains to equipment safety, B to personal routines, and C to workplace cleanliness, which are not directly related to the specific hygiene practice of hand washing.
Question 2 of 5
In the multi-tasking world that we live in today, why is goal setting even more important than ever?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Correct Answer: C Rationale: 1. Goal setting helps to mobilize efforts by providing a clear target to work towards. 2. It increases motivation and focus on achieving the desired outcome. 3. Setting specific goals enhances efficiency and productivity. 4. By defining objectives, individuals can prioritize tasks and allocate resources effectively. Summary: A: While goal setting can contribute to persistence, it is not the primary reason why it is crucial in a multi-tasking world. B: While goal setting does direct attention, the key importance lies in mobilizing efforts to achieve tasks. D: While goal setting may lead to new strategies, its primary role is to drive efforts towards task accomplishment.
Question 3 of 5
According to self-determination theory, what forms of extrinsic motivation result in more of a self- directed effort to work in safer ways?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In self-determination theory, identified regulation involves perceiving the activity as personally important and aligned with one's values, leading to more self-directed effort. Integrated regulation goes a step further, where the behavior is fully assimilated into one's sense of self, resulting in the highest level of self-directed effort. On the other hand, external and introjected regulations involve more external factors or pressures, which may not foster as much self-directed effort. Therefore, the correct answer is C (identified and integrated) as they align with the principles of self-determination theory for promoting self-directed efforts.
Question 4 of 5
Elinor has the chance to earn a gift certificate for any Swiss Chalet restaurant if her department has over 90% use of safety glasses in the last six months. According to motivational theory what type of reward is this?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: contingent. This reward is contingent on a specific behavior (using safety glasses). Contingent rewards are directly tied to performance or behavior, reinforcing desired actions. Compliance (A) refers to following rules or regulations without necessarily being rewarded. Complementary (C) rewards are additional benefits given along with the main reward, which is not the case here. Cooperation (D) relates to working together with others, which is not the focus of the reward in this scenario. Therefore, the most fitting term to describe the reward in this situation is contingent.
Question 5 of 5
What theory explains how we can motivate safe behaviour by recognizing that people are motivated by different things?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Self-determination theory explains motivation by emphasizing intrinsic factors such as autonomy, competence, and relatedness. This theory acknowledges individual differences in motivation, making it suitable for encouraging safe behavior. Reinforcement theory (A) focuses on rewards and punishments, not individual motivations. Goal-setting theory (B) emphasizes setting specific goals. Transformational leadership theory (D) focuses on inspiring and transforming followers, not individual motivations for safe behavior. Thus, C is correct as it aligns with understanding individual motivations for safety.
