"She is always involved in helping poor women of the area by providing them with jobs after imparting necessary skills". Which objective of management is reflected in this statement?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1: Personal objective -> Relates to individual employee goals like fair wages, career growth, and job satisfaction, not about helping poor women in society.

Option 2: Organisational objective -> Focuses on achieving business goals like profit, growth, and efficiency, not community welfare activities.

Option 3: Social objective -> Addresses responsibility towards society by creating employment for disadvantaged groups and skill development for community welfare.

Option 4: Administrative objective -> Not a recognized primary objective of management in standard management principles.


Hence, Option 3: Social objective -> The statement reflects social responsibility as it involves helping poor women (disadvantaged section of society) by providing skills training and employment opportunities, thereby contributing to community development and social welfare, which is the core of social objectives of management -> correct
