Best is to jot down the personal goals in a calm mind and work towards achieving it. The organisation can only give you money to lead a good life. To achieve a personal goal it's you who has to strive.

Never associate your personal goal with the organizational goal.

Option A seems to be correct one according to the passage. It is never said in the passage that motivation forces priority for individual goals over organisational goals. Only thing said in the passage is that it makes people motivate to achieve their own goal with the help of organization.

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.

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.

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.

If a person gets his personal goals,he works for the organisation by heart because he has achieved already his objectives.

(B) If a person continually work towards his personal aspirations and desires,he might overrule the benefits of the organization just like a batsmen who wants to make a century might eat up all the balls and achieve his goals but the team might end up losing.

Motivation does not make an employee's personal goal as priority. So the word priority should be eliminated from there.

Motivation is playing vital role in organization. If individual is motivated in organization than it will help or encourage to achieve personal goal. Once employee achieve personal goal, he/she will put best effort at workplace.

Motivation play very vital role for individual to achieve his set goals. As all individual goals lead to the fulfillment of organizational goals.
