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.

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 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 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.

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 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.

Personal goals drives an individual to attain the organisational goals. When an employee grows the organisations grows too.. Option A is apt.

I think Option D is what we usually feel. But here with reference to what is said in the passage Option A is correct.

Srinivas said:   1 decade ago
Option A is clearly answer for this because the individual person works their goal as well as their organization goals.so option A is correct answer...

Option 'A' is only apt for the given passage. Employees are the pillars for any firm, if employess are happy they will put their best efforts to give the god results. So, in the perspective of motivation employees should be considered first.
