Question : Assertion: Employees' desire for recognition and appreciation falls under self-actualization needs.
Reason: Self-actualization needs are concerned with personal growth and realizing one's potential.
Option 1: Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Option 2: Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Option 3: Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
Option 4: Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
Correct Answer: Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
Solution : The correct answer is (d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
The assertion is false. Recognition and appreciation primarily fall under the esteem needs category in Maslow's hierarchy, not self-actualization. Esteem needs involve desires for recognition, respect, and a sense of accomplishment, which are fundamental psychological needs but are distinct from self-actualization.
The reason is true. Self-actualization needs, as defined by Maslow, involve the desire to become the most that one can be, to achieve personal growth, creativity, and realizing one's potential. However, this reason does not provide the correct explanation for the assertion, as it incorrectly links the desire for recognition and appreciation to self-actualization needs, which is not accurate according to Maslow's hierarchy.
