Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
(A) Behavior is directed by rules. — this matches (II) Formal Organisation. The formal organisation is designed by management, and it lays down the rules and procedures that guide the behaviour of its members.
(B) It is everything that goes to reduce the importance of a subordinate’s role. — this matches (IV) Centralisation. Everything that raises the importance of the subordinate’s role is decentralisation. Everything that reduces it is centralisation, because authority stays at the top.
(C) Leaders may or may not be managers. — this matches (I) Informal Organisation. Informal groups arise from friendships at work, and they choose their own leaders by preference. The leader need not hold any managerial post.
(D) It leads to occupational specialization. — this matches (III) Functional Structure. Work is grouped by function (production, sales, finance), so each department is run by specialists in that one field.
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “Functional structure … (a) A functional structure leads to occupational specialisation since emphasis is placed on specific functions. This promotes efficiency in utilisation of manpower as employees perform similar tasks within a department and are able to improve performance.” “…Everything which goes to increase the importance of a subordinate’s role is decentralisation, everything that goes to reduce it is centralisation.” |
