Answer 1

Answer:

Options A and C

Explanation:

If the employees are a part of the goal formation process, they will know all it entails to achieve the goal, they will know what is at stake if the goal is not achieved, and will be enthusiastic enough to achieve that goal.

If the management assures employees of their support towards the achievement of the employee's goal, the employee will be encouraged to dispense more efforts towards the accomplishment of the goal, knowing fully well that he is strongly supported by the management.
