The intangible gratifications (e.g., job satisfaction, self-esteem, pride) that come from within oneself as a result of doing a job.

• A. Intrinsic rewards of work
• B. Social Convoy
• C. Fictive Kin
• D. Elderspeak

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding of intrinsic rewards—the internal satisfaction that comes from performing a job itself. When people experience job satisfaction, pride, or enhanced self-esteem, these feelings arise from engaging in the work in a meaningful way, from mastering tasks, exercising autonomy, and contributing to something valued. They are intrinsic because they come from within, not from external rewards like pay, promotions, or praise. The other terms refer to social aspects rather than internal gratification from work. The Social Convoy model describes the network of supportive relationships that surround a person; fictive kin are non-relatives treated like family; and elderspeak is a way some people talk to older adults. None of these capture the internal, self-generated satisfaction that comes from doing work. Intrinsic rewards best explain the described intangible gratifications.
