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 true, but Reason is false.
Solution : The correct answer is (c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
The assertion is true. Self-actualization needs, as described in Maslow's hierarchy, involve the desire for personal growth, realizing one's potential, and pursuing meaningful and challenging objectives. Providing opportunities for challenging and fulfilling work aligns with fulfilling these self-actualization needs.
The reason is false. Self-actualization needs are more about achieving personal growth, creativity, and fulfilling one's potential rather than seeking respect and recognition from peers. Respect and recognition are primarily associated with esteem needs in Maslow's hierarchy. Despite this, the assertion is true based on the alignment of challenging and fulfilling work opportunities with self-actualization needs, even though the reason is inaccurate.
