Questions 4-5 are based on the following passage.

The supervisor would have to change his attitude towards people first. The
staff under him must be perceived as human beings with feelings and
needs. They are not autonomous within a complex work machinery. One of
the greatest needs of today's worker is to have a feeling that he is in control
of his workplace and not vice versa. The best way is to satisfy this need as
far as possible. He must feel firstly, that his work is meaningful. To do this
the supervisor must delegate responsibility and give limited authority for
the man to execute his job well. The subordinate must be properly trained
to assume responsibility and authority. Once he is ready to assume these he

can be made accountable for his job. Very often supervisors assume all
responsibility and accountability for fear of losing control of the workplace.
This makes workers under him pawns in a vast chessboard. Delegating
accountability gives the worker a purpose in life and the need to do a job
well. Most important is to sit with each worker and chalk out common
objectives and agreed norms to achieve them. This gives workers a security
as to what is expected of them. When he has met his objectives he certainly
has a feeling of achievement. This feeling of achievement is the greatest
motivator.
