Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Incentives motivate employees and improve performance. Non-financial incentives focus on psychological, social, and emotional needs rather than monetary rewards. Let's analyze each term systematically:

• Employee Participation (a): Involving workforce members in managerial decision-making, particularly on matters that directly affect them. $\rightarrow$ Matches with (iv).

• Organisational Climate (b): The unique characteristics, internal culture, and operational environment that differentiate one organization from another. $\rightarrow$ Matches with (i).

• Employee Empowerment (c): Granting greater autonomy, operational freedom, and decision-making authority to lower-level subordinates. $\rightarrow$ Matches with (iii).

• Status (d): The structural ranking, position, authority, and prestige an individual holds within the corporate hierarchy. $\rightarrow$ Matches with (ii).
Step 1: Compiling the matching pairs.
Reviewing our analysis, the correct pairings are: \[ a \rightarrow iv, \quad b \rightarrow i, \quad c \rightarrow iii, \quad d \rightarrow ii \]

Step 2: Evaluating the options.
This configuration matches Option (C).
