Read the following passage and answer the question.
Mr. Sunil Diali is a safety officer in ECL, a public sector company. He supervises the workers towards the predetermined goals of the organisation and directs them on how to remove unsafe practices such as flooding, fire and the build-up of inflammable gases in the mines. Once, a huge fire broke out in an underground mine, and the workers lost their morale because of the many risks. Mr. Diali studied the whole situation. He consulted all his workers and decided the safety measures together with them. He constantly monitored, guided and inspired them to work together, to accept the situation as a challenge and to take proper safety measures to put out the fire and reduce its effects. As a result, production was outstanding and the mine performed better than the other units. Mr. Diali received a Bravery Award from CIL.
Bravery award is which of the following form of non-financial incentive?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Employee Recognition
Option (1) Status — Incorrect. Status is the ranking of a position, with its authority and prestige. The award does not change Mr. Diali’s post.
Option (2) Job security — Incorrect. Job security gives stability of future income and work. An award does not promise that.
Option (3) Career Advancement — Incorrect. This means chances to improve skills and be promoted. Mr. Diali was not promoted.
Option (4) Employee Recognition — Correct. Recognition means acknowledgment with a show of appreciation. Giving an award or certificate for good performance is one form of it. The Bravery Award openly praises Mr. Diali’s work.
