Analyzing Organizational Approaches

This question requires identifying the correct descriptions of different organizational approaches regarding power distribution and objective setting.

Evaluating Each Statement:

  • A. Authoritative approach: This approach involves centralized power and control, not equal distribution. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
  • B. Participative approach: This style emphasizes shared decision-making and input from members, suggesting a broader, not necessarily unequal, distribution of power compared to authoritative styles. The statement is misleading. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
  • C. Directive approach: In this approach, objectives are typically set by management or specialists who direct the organization's efforts. The statement that 'Objectives of organisation are chosen by specialists outside the target group' accurately describes this top-down objective setting. Therefore, this statement is correct.
  • D. Non-directive approach: This approach focuses on empowering individuals or groups to set their own objectives and work autonomously. The statement 'Objectives chosen solely by the people' aligns well with this concept. Therefore, this statement is correct.
  • E. Democratic approach: This approach inherently involves participation and decision-making by followers, often through consensus or voting. The statement that 'Decisions are made by leader of the organisation without followers participation' contradicts the core principle of a democratic approach. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.

Conclusion on Correct Statements

Based on the analysis, statements C and D accurately describe the Directive and Non-directive approaches, respectively.

Identifying the Correct Option

The option that includes only the correct statements (C and D) is the correct answer.
