Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ability, motivation and opportunity (AMO) model is a business model that human resources (HR) professionals use to describe the complex relationship between individuals in the workplace and their outcomes. Understanding this model can help you know how organisations can use it to improve employee success.

Detailed explanation-2: -The AMO framework was initially proposed by Bailey (1993), who suggested that ensuring the employee’s discretionary effort needed three components: employees had to have the necessary skills, they needed appropriate motivation and employers had to offer them the opportunity to participate (Appelbaum et al., 2000).

Detailed explanation-3: -The origin of the AMO model lies in the continuous scientific discourse between industrial psychologists, who believe that performance is a function of hiring and training, and social psychologists, who assume that motivation is necessary to ensure performance (MacInnis & Jaworski, 1989).
