Question

Match the non-financial incentives given in Column I with their meaning given in Column II :

Choose the correct option from the options given below :

• A. a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
• B. a-i, b-iv, c-ii, d-iii
• C. a-iv, b-i, c-iii, d-ii
• D. a-iii, b-ii, c-iv, d-i

Hint:

Participation = Sharing Decision Power. Empowerment = Sharing Authority/Autonomy. Climate = Culture and Atmosphere. Status = Position in the Hierarchy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the meaning of each non financial incentive listed.
Participation means involving employees in decisions that affect them, organisational climate is the set of characteristics that make one firm feel different from another, status is about the rank and importance attached to a job, and empowerment means giving employees more freedom and power to act on their own.
Step 2: Match participation and organisational climate first.
Participation lines up with the meaning about involving employees in decision making, and organisational climate lines up with the meaning describing the distinguishing characteristics of a firm.
Step 3: Match the remaining two by elimination.
Once participation and climate are placed, empowerment and status naturally pair off with whichever meanings remain, giving the complete set of four matched pairs.
Step 4: Read off the final combination.
Putting all four matches together in order gives participation as iv, climate as i, empowerment as iii, and status as ii.
Final answer: Option 3, a-iv, b-i, c-iii, d-ii.
