Displaying the achievement of an employee on the notice board or in the company news letter is an example of which non-financial incentive?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Employee recognition programme
Option (1) Employee participation — Incorrect. It means involving employees in decision making on issues related to them, for example through work committees or canteen committees. Putting up an achievement gives the employee no say in decisions.
Option (2) Employee empowerment — Incorrect. It means giving more autonomy and powers to subordinates, so that they feel their jobs are important. It gives the employee no extra powers.
Option (3) Employee recognition programme — Correct. Recognition means acknowledgment with a show of appreciation. Putting an employee’s achievement on the notice board or in the newsletter is such appreciation. It makes the employee want to work at a higher level.
Option (4) Job enrichment — Incorrect. It means designing jobs with greater variety of work, more autonomy and responsibility. It changes the job itself.
