Research has proven that signs of appreciation (ie verbal appreciation, employee appreciation awards, verbal recognition, promotion, etc) are better motivators for employees than providing above market salary compensation.

In fact, research has proved compensation is a hygiene factor. You anticipate lower turnover and higher productivity for a group that you have infused with a recognition program focused on signs of appreciation. This is an example of what kind of analysis?

A) Inductive reasoning

B) Quantitative analysis

C) Deductive reasoning

D) Qualitative analysis


  • [Ans: C]


  • Deductive reasoning is an analytic process used to move from generalizations to structurally certain conclusions. Through deductive reasoning, an individual would take an accepted rule and apply it by determining what additional observations one can expect to find.

    In the above situation, the general rule is that signs of appreciation are better motivators for employees than providing above-market compensation. This would imply that you would be able to observe lower turnover and higher productivity in the group because of these new motivators.

    On the other hand, inductive reasoning is a form of reasoning in which a general conclusion is reached from particular cases or examples. Finally, quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis are types of data analysis. After data is collected from an experiment, data can be analyzed or further analyzed with both techniques.
