Read the following scenario. Analyze why the manager's attempt to motivate Alex with a bonus likely failed. In your analysis, you must specifically discuss how the assigned task failed to address the three core components of internal motivation: 1) the desire for control over one's own work, 2) the urge to improve one's skills, and 3) the need for the work to have meaning.
