Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identify the concept.
This is a matching question on non-financial incentives, so each term in Column I needs to be paired with its correct meaning in Column II.
Step 2: Recall each term.
Employee participation means involving workers in decisions that affect them, organisational climate means the overall internal working environment and culture of a firm, employee empowerment means giving lower level staff more freedom and authority to decide, and status means the rank, authority, and prestige attached to a position.
Step 3: Pair each term with its meaning.
Employee participation matches with involvement in decision making, organisational climate matches with the description of the internal environment, employee empowerment matches with granting autonomy to subordinates, and status matches with rank and prestige of the position.
Step 4: Conclude.
Final answer: Option 3, a pairs with iv, b pairs with i, c pairs with iii, and d pairs with ii.
