In the Fitzgerald and Moon block model, which element focuses on rewarding employees to keep them motivated?

• A. Rewards
• B. Dimensions
• C. Standards
• D. Goals

Answer: (A)

The part of the Fitzgerald and Moon block model that focuses on keeping employees motivated through reinforcement is the Rewards element. This block is about providing incentives and recognition—financial bonuses, salary progressions, praise, development opportunities—that reinforce desired performance and sustain motivation over time. While goals define what to achieve, standards set acceptable levels, and dimensions identify the aspects of performance to measure, they don’t directly address motivating employees. Rewards, on the other hand, links performance to incentives, making motivation the central purpose of this component.
