Using fear as a motivator can be effective in the short term, but it may lead to negative consequences in the long run. It can induce stress, anxiety, and prevent individuals from performing at their best. Instead, motivation through positive reinforcement, encouragement, and intrinsic rewards tends to yield better results and create a healthier work environment.

To what extent is fear a good motivator?

To a certain extent. ;)Fear is a good motivator if it deters you from taking the wrong and immorale path. Fear is good if it helps you stay on the right track. E.g. The fear of death penalty so you wouldn't kill another person for no particular reason. Or maybe you would think twice about doing an act that is not legal..Another Perspective:Fear is a good motivator when balanced sensibly with a clear reward - when both the carrot and the stick are in view. Fear without incentive, or overwhelming fear can lead to panic, resulting in poor judgement. Not enough fear can lead to complacency and lethargy.

Define the word fear as used in the bible?

The word 'fear' as used, especially in the Authorised version (King James version) of the Bible is a perfect example of how words have changed over time and now have a slightly different meaning. The word 'fear' as in 'we should fear God' does not mean that we should be scared of him, as the modern meaning of the word should suggest. Instead, the word 'fear' means 'a healthy respect for', or to 'stand in awe of' him - or, even more accurately, a mixture of the two.

What do you reckon the strongest motivator is Revenge or fear of death?

There is no universal preference; in any given situation, for any given individual, the choice can be made between the desire for revenge or the fear of death. Some people are willing to risk their lives in order to get revenge, and some are not. There is no way to say which motive is stronger.
