As part of the research on how to motivate its employees, Alltech has conducted an experiment in which some of its managers, after successfully completing a project, received not only their regular financial bonuses but also letters of appreciation personally signed by the heads of their departments. Those employees were more effective at conducting their next projects both as to time and quality. Therefore, if personal letters of appreciation became a regular practice, the overall productivity of Alltech`s managers would increase.
Which of the following is the assumption on which the argument depends?
(A)Receiving personal feedback from higher management throughout the project would also help increase employees` productivity.
(B)Most employees who participated in the experiment claimed that financial incentives are not the most important factor that motivates them to succeed.
(C)Some projects are significantly more challenging to accomplish than others are.
(D)All employees who received personal letters of appreciation showed better results in their subsequent projects.
(E)Receiving such letters regularly would not lessen their impact on the employees.
why is "B" wrong ?
