Answer 1

Question 9: Answer: Option 1

Rationale: Goal setting can be defined as a process of employee motivation and a process of clarifying the perception of the role to the employee. All this is done after the goals or objectives have been set already.

Option 2,3, and 4 don't have a positive impact on the employee as the intensity is low, statements are general, and they fail to stretch the motivation of the employee.

Question 10: Answer: Option 4

Rationale: A video journalist is given various responsibilities and combines various duties which is job enlargement and the satisfaction from using various skills is called job enrichment.

Self-leadership is not about roles but involves thinking and feeling while job specialization doesn't involve more than one role.
