Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Richard's motivation was likely affected by the lack of task significance in his job. He believed that the products he was producing were not significant to consumers and were harming the environment, which made his work seem meaningless and unfulfilling. Skill variety, autonomy, and feedback may also be important factors in motivation, but they are not directly related to Richard's reason for leaving his job.
