ii)Identify and explain the type of management objective which is being fulfilled by Harshitha
Answer:
The management objective not being fulfilled is Personal Objective.
The management objective being fulfilled is Organisational Objective.
Explanation:
Personal Objective:
These goals are related to the development of employees in an organisation.
Among these goals are the following:
- FINANCIAL NEEDS-Offering competitive salaries and benefits.
- SOCIAL NEEDS-Self-esteem, peer recognition, and regard for colleagues
- SELF DEVELOPMENT NEEDS OR HIGHER END NEEDS
Organisational Objective:
- These objectives are established in accordance with the organization's goals.
- These goals are established with the interests of various stakeholders in mind, such as owners, employees, shareholders, employees, and so on.
- The goal of establishing these objectives is to make the best use of all available resources.
- It is the responsibility of management to set and achieve such goals.
- These goals are classified as follows:
(1)SURVIVAL:The primary goal of any organisation is survival.
An organisation must earn enough revenue to cover the costs.
(2)PROFIT:For any organisation, mere survival is insufficient.
To face unforeseen or contingent situations, an organisation must earn a profit.
(3)GROWTH:Profits earned on a consistent basis enable an organisation to grow, remain in business, and compete.
Hence, from the above case we can conclude that Harshitha is lacking in personal and social objective of management which may affect the organisation in the long run even though her organisational objectives are fulfilled.
