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.

If a person tries to attain his/her personal goals. Then it is itself a motivation. And when given motivation, the individual will work hard for the completion of personal aim. And ultimately, the work done for personal goals will benefit organisation as well.

When you fulfill your interpersonal goal. You automatically lead to the organization work. That's why it should be option no. B?

Meeting the organisational goals is also meeting his personal goals. So that it is similar and both were equally treated.

Option D is logically correct. Personal goals lead to organization goals indirectly. The paragraph says employees are motivated but not a fact like motivation leads to.

So that means motivation indirectly (external force) leads to fulfillment of organizational objectives.

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.

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.

Personal satisfaction leads us to work for other. Suppose working hard for organisational goal does not meet personal satisfaction of employee could not encourage him to give priority to organisational goals over individual goals.

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.
