Directions: The municipal corporation of Chandigarh has recently changed its guidelines and now made the installation of solar power plants necessary in houses that measure more than 250 square meters. More than half the houses in the city measure more than 250 square meters. Earlier, only houses measuring more than 500 square meters were supposed to install solar power plants. This meant that only twenty percent of houses were covered under this guideline. The resident welfare association has been up in arms against this provision and has been calling for a roll back of this policy as the citizens' claim that the cost of installing these is quite high and since these houses have limited ceiling space, the installed capacity of these plants does not make them financially viable. The administration, on the other hand, strongly believes that this is the step in right direction as the need of the society on power generated by coal needs to be reduced and for this purpose, any greener and cleaner alternative will do.
The administration is adamant in its decision and has decided not to alter the policy under any condition. The citizen organizations in the city have the following options:
I. provide an extension of 1 year for installing these systems so that funds can be managed easily.
II. increase the size to limit to 350 square meters and above as this will only impact 22% of the houses in the city but make sure all installed systems are viable in operation.
III. ask the administration to provide subsidies on regular electricity bills so that the citizens can recover some of the costs.
Which, out of the above, are logical suggestions that the organizations should make to the administration?
  • a)
    I & II
  • b)
    II & III
  • c)
    I & III
  • d)
    All of the above
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

In the given case, I and III are valid in nature and represent possible solutions for the problem of high costs and low viability. Remember, a logical case needs to be made wherein the solar power plants stay yet the issues faced by the citizens are resolved. Considering this, option C is the best answer in the given case as these options help the citizen without really going against the administration's viewpoint. Statement II can be eliminated as the reason why the limit was changed from 500 to 250 sq. meters was that it covered only 20% of the people. Making the limit 350 doesn't make much of a difference (22%). Hence, it becomes an ineffective step.

Understanding the Suggestions
The citizen organizations in Chandigarh are exploring options to negotiate with the municipal administration regarding the installation of solar power plants. Each of the proposed suggestions has its merits.
Option I: Extension of Installation Period
- Providing an extension of one year allows residents to manage the financial burden of installation more effectively.
- This time frame can enable homeowners to save up or seek alternative funding options, making it a practical solution for many.
Option II: Increasing the Size Limit
- Raising the threshold to 350 square meters impacts a smaller percentage (22%) of homes, reducing the overall burden.
- The focus on ensuring that installed systems operate viably addresses concerns about financial feasibility, making solar power more attractive for homeowners.
Option III: Requesting Subsidies
- Asking for subsidies on electricity bills offers a direct financial relief to homeowners, helping them recover installation costs over time.
- This approach addresses the core concern regarding the high initial investment and incentivizes residents to adopt solar energy.
Conclusion: Why III is the Most Logical Suggestion
- While all suggestions are valid, Option III stands out as it provides immediate financial relief and encourages the adoption of renewable energy.
- The other options focus on managing installation logistics, but Option III directly addresses the financial concerns of residents.
In summary, the logical course of action for citizen organizations is to advocate for Option III, while also considering the benefits of Options I and II as supplementary measures.

The resident welfare association has been up in arms against this provision and has been calling for a roll back of this policy as the citizens' claim that the cost of installing these is quite high and since these houses have limited ceiling space, the installed capacity of these plants does not make them financially viable. The administration, on the other hand, strongly believes that this is the step in right direction as the need of the society on power generated by coal needs to be reduced and for this purpose, any greener and cleaner alternative will do.If the administration is steadfast in its view, what should it do in order to ease the apprehensions of the citizens?

When people react to their experiences with particular authorities, those authorities and the organizations or institutions that they represent often benefit if the people involved begin with high levels of commitment to the organization or institution represented by the authorities. First, in his studies of people's attitudes toward political and legal institutions, Tyler found that attitudes after an experience with the institution were strongly affected by prior attitudes. Single experiences influence post experience loyalty but certainly do not overwhelm the relationship between pre-experience and post experience loyalty. Thus, the best predictor of loyalty after an experience is usually loyalty before that experience.Second, people with prior loyalty to the organization or institution judge their dealings with the organization's or institution's authorities to be fairer than do those with less prior loyalty, either because they are more fairly treated or because they interpret equivalent treatment as fairer.Although high levels of prior organizational or institutional commitment are generally beneficial to the organization or institution, under certain conditions high levels of prior commitment may actually sow the seeds of reduced commitment. When previously committed individuals feel that they were treated unfavourably or unfairly during some experience with the organization or institution, they may show an especially sharp decline in commitment. Two studies were designed to test this hypothesis, which, if confirmed, would suggest that organizational or institutional commitment has risks, as well as benefits. At least three psychological models offer predictions of how individuals' reactions may vary as a function of (1) their prior level of commitment and (2) the favorability of the encounter with the organization or institution. Favorability of the encounter is determined by the outcome of the encounter and the fairness or appropriateness of the procedures used to allocate outcomes during the encounter. First, the instrumental prediction is that because people are mainly concerned with receiving desired outcomes from their encounters with organizations, changes in their level of commitment will depend primarily on the favorability of the encounter. Second, the assimilation prediction is that individuals' prior attitudes predispose them to react in a way that is consistent with their prior attitudes.The third prediction, derived from the group-value model of justice, pertains to how people with high prior commitment will react when they feel that they have been treated unfavorably or unfairly during some encounter with the organization or institution. Fair treatment by the other party symbolizes to people that they are being dealt with in a dignified and respectful way, thereby bolstering their sense of self-identity and self worth. However, people will become quite distressed and react quite negatively if they feel that they have been treated unfairly by the other party to the relationship. The group-value model suggests that people value the information they receive that helps them to define themselves and to view themselves favorably. According to the instrumental viewpoint, people are primarily concerned with the more material or tangible resources received from the relationship. Empirical support for the group-value model has implications for a variety of important issues, including the determinants of commitment, satisfaction, organizational citizenship, and rule following. Determinants of procedural fairness include structural or interpersonal factors. For example, structural determinants refer to such things as whether decisions were made by neutral, fact finding authorities who used legitimate decision making criteria. The primary purpose of the study was to examine the interactive effect of individuals (1) commitment to an organization or institution prior to some encounter and (2) perceptions of how fairly they were treated during the encounter, on the change in their level of commitment. A basic assumption of the group-value model is that people generally value their relationships with people, groups, organizations, and institutions and therefore value fair treatment from the other party to the relationship. Specifically, highly committed members should have especially negative reactions to feeling that they were treated unfairly, more so than (1) less-committed group members or (2) highly committed members who felt that they were fairly treated.The prediction that people will react especially negatively when they previously felt highly committed but felt that they were treated unfairly also is consistent with the literature on psychological contracts. Rousseau suggested that, over time, the members of work organizations develop feelings of entitlement, i.e., perceived obligations that their employers have toward them. Those who are highly committed to the organization believe that they are fulfilling their contract obligations. However, if the organization acted unfairly, then highly committed individuals are likely to believe that the organization did not live up to its end of the bargain.For summarizing the passage, which of the following is most appropriate

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the given question:Corporate governance suffers in companies where the allegiance of independent directors is to the officers of the company rather than to its shareholders. To make the shareholder-board relationship more effective, we need better shareholder surveillance. Shareholders must actively step up as owners, and engage directors on corporate issues. Independent directors in general, and chairmen of all companies in particular, must participate more actively in annual general meetings by owning up to their board decisions and answering shareholder queries.The abuse of corporate power results from incentives within firms that encourage a culture of corruption. For example, former employees within a now-demised corporation described a 'yes man' culture in which only those employees who did everything to please their bosses prospered. 'Corporate culture is what determines how people behave when they are not being watched,' remarked a former managing partner of a consultancy firm. Unethical companies have typified corporate cultures that voiced their commitment to one value system while their processes and incentives reflected an entirely different value system in practice. The responsibility to change this lies with the top management.Clearly, good governance requires a mindset within the corporation which integrates the corporate code of ethics into the day-to-day activities of its managers and workers. As the sociologists opine, companies must move from the 'reactive and compliance mode' of corporate ethics to the 'integrity mode', where the functions of the entire organisation are completely aligned with its value system. To achieve this, we must address the system of incentives that exists within corporations.Corporations must integrate their value systems into their recruitment programmes. They must mandate compliance with their values as a key requirement from each potential employee. They must ensure that every employee owns responsibility for accountability and ethics in every transaction. Corporations must also publicly recognise internal role models for ethical behaviour. They must reinforce exemplary ethical conduct among employees through reward and recognition programmes. Ethical standards and best practices must be applied fairly and uniformly across all levels of the organisation. Any non-compliance must be swiftly dealt with and publicised. Additionally, there should be strong whistle-blower mechanisms within the corporation for exposing unethical or illegal activities.The need of the hour is for all voices in a corporation to unanimously extol the values of decency, honesty and transparency. In other words, every employee has to appreciate that the future of the corporation is safe only if he/she does the right thing in every transaction. Corporates have to create systems, structures and incentives to promote transparency, since transparency brings accountability. In an ideal organisation every employee remembers and follows the adage, 'when in doubt, disclose'.None of this can happen unless corporate leaders believe in the values of the company, and walk the talk. Corporate leaders are powerful role models. Every employee watches them carefully and imitates them. For example, many corporations talk about cutting costs as a way to improve profitability. Such cost consciousness has to come from the top. If leaders want employees to spend carefully, they have to show the way.Which of the following is TRUE as per the scenario presented in the passage?
