@All.

Here, The passage does not support the statement that motivation encourages an individual to give priority to personal goals over organizational goals.

In fact, it states that organizational members are motivated to satisfy their personal goals and contribute their efforts to the attainment of organizational objectives as a means of achieving these personal goals.

Therefore, personal and organizational goals are mutually interdependent and linked by the common denominator of 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.

When an individual's personal goals align with the organization's objectives, the individual will work towards the organization's objectives. This implies that the primary motivation is personal.

Answer A: Encourages an individual to give priority to personal goals over organisational goals.

Option A is definitely correct. Because, if a person works towards his personal goal within the organization, the person is motivated to do the best he/she can in their current capacity. This is what is required of every employee by the organization. Thus, this in turn makes the organization achieve it's goals.
Thus the motivation for personal enhancement does augur well for the organization in it's efforts to reach the organizational goals.

Option B and E can Be easily removed because they does not belong to the our question. Now Option C and D may be right but in passage the author didn't tell any thing about Physical & Mental energy needs to motivate individuals and also passage does not support that motivation is of any kind of force.
This is why Option A is relevant to give priory to their personal goal is best way for motivating individuals.

Its simple, in order to push a cart loaded with tonnes of stone, an individual should have a strong and healthy body (individual goal) but a person alone cannot move the cart (organizational goal) alone.

A group of weak people can push the cart too. First focus on your health and then join the group to push the cart. The cart will move faster than the cart push by the weak team.

Option A is correct if we see to the statement. Motivation comes from within ourselves so individual must be motivated first which help him to achieve his personal goals and when he achieves his personal goals then only he take his organization to greater heights thus succeed in achieving organizational goals. Other options are irrelevant and not go through the statement.

I think if an employee will only focus on his/her personal goals over organizational goals then there would be chances that he/she may manipulate to achieve their personal goals & at last an Organization may need to suffer. So I think option B would be a correct answer as Employee Motivation should be needed for survival of employees & organization.

Its option D. Because motivation is what is that triggers and effectively harnessing the individualism as stated out loud and clear in the passage- boosting his/her dynamics of proliferation - the encouragement working wonders pushing their limits, fuelling them with an insight or the claimed aspiration to rule over their cited objectives.

If we gave to much importance to the personal goals then there are chances that a person may not give damn to the organisational goals. After taking his salary he may not give any importance to the goals of organisation because he has satisfied his goal and now he will leave the goal of organisation.

It is not stated that the employees only intend to satisfy only the personal goals but the conclusion is employees being working in an organization tend to achieve personal goals as it is possible only by achieving the organizational goals at first. The answer is quite dependent one on each other.
