Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is option (4) - A and B only.
Internal sources of recruitment are Transfer and Promotion.
There are two important sources of internal recruitment, namely, transfers and promotions, which are discussed below:
- (i) Transfers: It involves shifting of an employee from one job to another, one department to another or from one shift to another, without a substantive change in the responsibilities and status of the employee.
- (ii) Promotions: Business enterprises generally follow the practice of filling higher jobs by promoting employees from lower jobs. Promotion leads to shifting an employee to a higher position, carrying higher responsibilities, facilities, status and pay. Promotion is a vertical shifting of employees. This practice helps to improve the motivation.
