Necessity for personal growth determines high performance in a work environment through multi-dimensional factors such as satisfaction with work, co-workers, management, career growth prospects in both short and long term and employers’ vision and mission leading to organizational out-performance. However people who have no such necessity for growth end up with low performance bordering around devious ways of going up the ladder by means other than merit such as sycophancy etc. Need for personal growth is therefore an essential part of one’s career.
Which of the following strengthens the argument?
A. Work environment is the most essential feature of an organization’s progress
B. The organization as driven by its desire to achieve its vision and mission is the most important factor of organizational behavior
C. Organizational goals are more important than personal goals for an organization through which they flourish
D. Charity begins at home in organizations too.
E. Low performers are known devils who can be easily weeded out.
Verbal Diagnostic Test No : 7 – CR - Q No: 5

The point of my argument is that personal growth achieved through ethical means, such as those cited in the prompt, is the driver of one own progress in one’s career. So, one has to put one’s own needs first before considering others. A well understood axiom that has been in use for centuries illustrates the same precisely.
A. Work environment is the most essential feature of an organization’s progress -- The argument is about one’s personal growth in one’s career. This choice talks about the organization's progress. Irrelevant
B. The organization as driven by its desire to achieve its vision and mission is the most important factor of organizational behavior --- This is excluding the individual althogether, without whom there may not exist an organization.
C. Organizational goals are more important than personal goals for an organization through which they flourish --- This is again focusing on the organization.
D. Charity begins at home in organizations too. – This is substantiated by the axiom referred to above. What holds good for the society at large is also true in organizations. This is the strengthener.
E. Low performers are known devils who can be easily weeded out. --- We are talking about outperformers and not low performers – Out of scope.
This is my perception. Of course, perceptions may differ from person to person.
