UGC NET Management Q1

Question

Goals can reduce stress as well as provide motivation. Employee who are highly committed to their goals and see purpose in their jobs experience less stress, because they are more likely to perceive stress as challenge rather than a hindrance. Specific goals perceived as attainable clarify performance expectation. In addition, goal feedback reduces uncertainties about actual job performance. The result is less employee frustration, role ambiguity and stress. Predesigning job to give employee more responsibility, more meaningful work, more autonomy and increased feedback can reduce stress because these factors give employees greater control over work activities and less dependence on others.

A. Redeployment of employees
