Question

Which of the following non-financial incentive is not discussed in the above case?

• A. Job Security
• B. Status
• C. Employee recognition programmes
• D. Organisational Climate

Hint:

Check which incentive none of the three friends refers to.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We must find the non-financial incentive that is not discussed in the case. So we check each option against what Rajat, Raman and Ansh say.

Step 2: Key Concept:
Non-financial incentives include status, organisational climate, career advancement, job enrichment, employee recognition programmes, job security, employee participation and employee empowerment. We match each to the case.

Step 3: Check option (A).
Rajat prefers a government job for stability of income and post retirement benefits. That is job security, and it is discussed. So (A) is not the answer.

Step 4: Check option (B).
Status means the rank or position given to a person in the organisation. The case does not say any friend wants a particular rank, although a government job may carry some prestige. Reading the text strictly, status is not clearly discussed. This option is a weak candidate but not the best answer.

Step 5: Check option (C).
Employee recognition programmes mean public appreciation or awards for good work. No friend speaks of praise, awards or recognition anywhere in the case. So (C) is not discussed and is the answer.

Step 6: Check option (D).
Ansh wants a culture of individual autonomy, which is about organisational climate. So it is discussed and (D) is not the answer.

Final Answer:
Recognition programmes are not referred to at all, so option 3 is chosen. The wording of option 2 is also weak, so this item is less certain. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 3}} \]
