Question Description
DIRECTIONSfor the question:Read the following information and choose the best alternative:The Society for Education in India (in short SEI) had been engaged in running primary schools in different parts of the country since 1950s. While attending a conference on employee selection, Mr. J Mehta, a senior member of the society learned that a leading school had recently employed a psychologist to perform employment functions, i.e. recruitment and selection of teachers. Within two months of his return, Mr. J Mehta contacted a reputed university and employed a graduating psychologist, Mr. Bibek Gupta.Mr. Bibek Gupta was employed by SEI with the single directive that he was to contribute to the selection of teachers. This task had previously been the prerogative of principals of each school. Mr. Gupta immediately notified each principal that in the future he was to be notified of the personnel needs and in return he would recruit, screen and select the teachers.At the end of his first year with SEI, Mr. Gupta realized that his efforts had resulted in failure. During his first few months he encountered much opposition from several principals who had been managing schools for ten or more years. They did not believe in newer psychological techniques and preferred selecting people based on their own assessment. Other principals frequently refused to accept the teachers selected by Mr. Gupta. Finally, Mr. Gupta began to notice fewer and fewer principals notifying him of vacancies in their schools. Realizing that he was not making any effective contribution, Mr. Gupta submitted the suggestion to the society members that support and co-operation of the school principals should be a matter of executive order, or else his resignation should be considered.Q.What was the flaw in the decision of selecting a psychologist for selecting teachers that led to the final situation?A: Mr. Mehtas decision was predominantly driven by the information about another school that had enlisted the services of a psychologist for recruitment and selection.R: Both the administration of the school and managing teachers have been primary responsibilities of the principal of the school.a)If both A and R are based on information given in the passage and R is the correct explanation of Ab)If both A and R are based on information given in the passage but R is not the correct explanation of Ac)If A is based on information given in the passage but R is not based on the facts givend)If A is not based on information given in the passage but R is based on the information given in the passagee)If both A and R are not based on information given in the passageCorrect answer is option 'B'.
