Question

In ‘Amazing Kids’ which is a school of reputation the Principal has decided to improve the performance

of teachers through proper motivation. He has planned to promote some of the good performing teachers

to the post of supervisors in their respective wings. The adjoining school after knowing this decides to do

the same but the school is new and there is no scope of filling the higher slots with the teachers of the

school as all of them are new too.

This school then goes for external sources of recruitment for which two sources are checked:

a. They approach a government office for this purpose. Here in this government agency link between

job seekers and employers is matched and people who are unemployed get registered for skilled as

well as unskilled jobs.

b. They check the data of people who applied for the jobs of teachers but were unable to make it. There

was a chance that these people could be easily recruited since they were interested in the jobs last

year.

his factory is easy as he generally requires unskilled labour. Daily notification is put outside the
