Which of the following is most likely to have a positive effect on job attitudes?

A) Mentally challenging work that is extremely demanding
B) Training programs for increasing the external locus of employees
C) Rewards that are in line with an individual's ambition
D) Work conditions that make accomplishing goals challenging

Rewards that align with an individual's ambition are likely to have a positive effect on their job attitudes because they feel that their hard work will lead to achieving their personal goals. Mentally challenging work that is extremely demanding and work conditions that make accomplishing goals challenging may have negative effects on job attitudes if they lead to burnout or frustration. Training programs for increasing the external locus of control of employees may have mixed effects on job attitudes as it may reduce stress but can also lead to a perceived lack of control over one's work.
