Select the correct statements- 1. Cognitive evaluation theory proposes that introduction of extrinsic rewards for work that was previously intrinsically rewarding tends to increase overall motivation. 2. This theory assumes that intrinsic motivations are independent of extrinsic motivation.
- A.
1 only
- B.
2 only
- C.
Both
- D.
None
Correct Answer
D. NoneExplanation
The correct answer is "none". The cognitive evaluation theory proposes that the introduction of extrinsic rewards for work that was previously intrinsically rewarding tends to decrease overall motivation rather than increase it. This theory suggests that extrinsic rewards can undermine intrinsic motivation by making individuals focus more on the rewards rather than the enjoyment or satisfaction derived from the task itself. Therefore, it contradicts the first statement. The second statement is also incorrect as the theory suggests that intrinsic and extrinsic motivations are not independent but can interact and influence each other.Rate this question:

1 and 2
- D.
2 and 3
- E.
1,2,3 and 4

C. 1 and 2Explanation
Open systems are in constant interaction with the environment, which means they exchange matter, energy, and information with the external environment. This interaction allows open systems to adapt to changing environmental conditions. On the other hand, closed systems are non-adaptable to their changing environmental conditions because they do not interact with the environment. Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct.Rate this question:

- A.
Only 1
- B.
Only 2
- C.
Both 1 and 2
- D.
None
Correct Answer
C. Both 1 and 2Explanation
According to Mooney, the scalar chain constitutes the universal process of co-ordination, which means that it is a fundamental aspect of coordinating activities within an organization. The formal hierarchy eliminates duplication of work, which implies that having a clear chain of command helps to avoid unnecessary repetition or overlap in tasks. Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct as they align with Mooney's ideas on coordination and the benefits of a formal hierarchy.Rate this question:
