When employees are trained by job rotation, the organisation finds it easier at the time of promotions, replacements or ________.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → transfers
Option (1) selections — Incorrect. Selection means choosing the best person out of the candidates for a job. Job rotation trains people who already work in the firm.
Option (2) appraisals — Incorrect. Performance appraisal means evaluating an employee’s performance against set standards. Job rotation helps the firm move people between jobs; it does not judge how well they work.
Option (3) recruitments — Incorrect. Recruitment means searching for prospective employees and getting them to apply. It fills jobs; it does not move a person who already works in the firm from one job to another.
Option (4) transfers — Correct. A trainee under job rotation has worked in many departments and knows several jobs. So the firm can easily shift him to another job or department when needed.
NCERT (2026-27 Edition): “(iv) Job Rotation: This kind of training involves shifting the trainee from one department to another or from one job to another. This enables the trainee to gain a broader understanding of all parts of the business and how the organisation as a whole functions. The trainee gets fully involved in the departments operations and also gets a chance to test her own aptitude and ability. Job rotation allows trainees to interact with other employees facilitating future cooperation among departments. When employees are trained by this method, the organisation finds it easier at the time of promotions, replacements or transfers.” |
