Question

Consider the following statements about goal congruence:

Answer 1

Answer:

Letter C is correct. I and II.

Explanation:

I. Goal congruence is obtained when managers of subunits throughout an organization strive to achieve the goals set by top management.

-  This statement is correct because goal congruence is focused on the congruence of individual goals with organizational goals, ie organizational goals must be a priority for all employees.

II. Managers are often more concerned about the performance of their own subunits rather than the performance of the entire organization.

-  Generally, the focus of the subunit manager is to delegate tasks to his or her subordinates in order to assist them with planning and organizing their activities, but it is necessary that effective management must be centered on establishing command and leadership focused on compliance with organizational goals as a whole.
