Developing a positive self-concept, or a positive perception of oneself, can help Briana overcome feelings of failure and increase her motivation to improve her job performance. Option A (increasing expectations) may be helpful, but Briana should first work on building her confidence and skills. Option B (identify the people she can blame) is unproductive and does not address the root cause of her job performance issues. Option D (make social comparisons) can lead to negative self-evaluation and may not be helpful in improving her job performance.
