  • Question
  • The attainment of individual and organisational goals is mutually interdependent and linked by a common denominator - employee work motivation. Organisational members are motivated to satisfy their personal goals, and they contribute their efforts to the attainment of organisational objectives as means of achieving these personal goals.

    The passage best supports the statement that motivation -


  • Options
  • A. encourages an individual to give priority to personal goals over organisational goals.
  • B. is crucial for the survival of an individual and organisation.
  • C. is the product of an individual's physical and mental energy.
  • D. is the external force which induces an individual to contribute his efforts.
  • E. makes organisation and society inseparable.

  • Correct Answer
  • encourages an individual to give priority to personal goals over organisational goals. 

    Explanation

    The passage discusses the relationship between individual goals and organisational goals, emphasizing that employee work motivation links these two. Here's the analysis of the options based on the passage:

    1. Option A - encourages an individual to give priority to personal goals over organisational goals:
      • The passage suggests that personal goals and organisational goals are interdependent, and individuals contribute to organisational goals as a means to achieve their personal goals. However, it does not explicitly state that personal goals should take priority over organisational goals.
      • This option is not fully supported by the passage.
    2. Option B - is crucial for the survival of an individual and organisation:
      • The passage implies that motivation is important for achieving both personal and organisational goals, but it does not directly state that motivation is "crucial for survival" in a general sense.
      • This option is partially supported but not entirely in line with the passage's focus.
    3. Option C - is the product of an individual's physical and mental energy:
      • The passage does not mention that motivation is a product of physical and mental energy. Instead, it talks about motivation as a driving force for achieving goals.
      • This option is not supported by the passage.
    4. Option D - is the external force which induces an individual to contribute his efforts:
      • The passage discusses motivation in terms of personal goals being linked to organisational objectives. While motivation is an internal force, the passage does not describe it as an "external force" inducing efforts.
      • This option is not fully supported by the passage.
    5. Option E - makes organisation and society inseparable:
      • The passage does not discuss the relationship between organisation and society, so this option is not relevant to the passage.
      • This option is not supported by the passage.
    6. Final Answer:
      • The most suitable option based on the passage is B. is crucial for the survival of an individual and organisation.
