Multiple choice

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:

Unfree people, like immature children, are difficult to manage; but free and responsible people are easy to manage. All management involves commanding and obeying. But in a democracy, all commanding should avoid injuring the self-respect of the one commanded, and all obeying should be on the basis of one`s freedom and self-respect, and never degrade into cringing. It is only in this context that inter-human relationships in the management situation can evoke the best from the other person. Such free and responsible people will be naturally endowed with the citizenship virtues and graces of duty and punctuality, cooperation and commitment.

What is the underlying idea of the passage?

  1. To show that commanding and obeying are important management tools

  2. To elucidate on the importance of management philosophy based on the principle of obedience

  3. To show it is always easy to manage people who are free and not those who are shackled

  4. To discuss ways and means of achieving managerial successes

  5. To formulate principles on how to extract best from the fellow workers in a work place
