Maine Security Officer Practice Exam

What aspect of security does technology NOT typically enhance?

1. Overall efficiency

2. Employee motivation

3. Communication among staff

4. Surveillance systems

The correct answer is: Employee motivation

Technology generally enhances various aspects of security, including overall efficiency, communication among staff, and surveillance systems. However, employee motivation is more directly influenced by management practices, work environment, and company culture rather than technological advancements. While technology can support motivational tools (like performance tracking systems), it does not intrinsically boost motivation in the same way it can improve operational processes or enhance communication. Therefore, the selection emphasizing that technology does not typically enhance employee motivation is valid and reflects the distinct roles that technology and management play in fostering a motivated workforce.
