Consider the following statements : (a) Sensitivity training was developed by Kurt Lewin (b) In-basket exercise is a simulated training method (c) Depth interview is also known as Directive Interview (d) Job evaluation is carried out for promoting job satisfaction Which of the above statements are true ?
Only (a) and (b)
Option 2 — Only (a) and (b) is correct.
Evaluate each statement:
| (a) | True. Sensitivity (T-group / laboratory) training was pioneered by Kurt Lewin and the National Training Laboratories to build self-awareness through unstructured group interaction. |
| (b) | True. The in-basket exercise gives a trainee sample memos, letters and reports to prioritise and act on — a classic simulated (vestibule-type) training and assessment method. |
| (c) | False. A depth interview is a non-directive, open-ended interview that lets the respondent talk freely; it is the opposite of a directive interview. |
| (d) | False. Job evaluation determines the relative worth of jobs to set an equitable wage/pay structure — it is not carried out to promote job satisfaction. |
Only (a) and (b) are correct, so the answer is Option 2.
Takeaway: depth interviews are non-directive and job evaluation ranks jobs for pay, so (c) and (d) fail.
