Question

a salary bonus for an employee who is doing a good job is an example of a(n) _______.
○ informal sanction
○ value sanction
○ positive sanction
○ negative sanction

Explanation:

A positive sanction is a reward given for conforming to norms or performing well, which encourages desired behavior. A salary bonus for good work fits this definition. Informal sanctions are unwritten, unofficial rewards/punishments (not structured like a salary bonus). "Value sanction" is not a standard sociological term. Negative sanctions are punishments for undesirable behavior, the opposite of a bonus.

Answer:

positive sanction
