An organization uses the management-by-objectives method, whereby employee performance is based on defined goals. Which of the following statements is true regarding this approach?
A.
It is particularly helpful to management when the organization is facing rapid change.
B.
It is a more successful approach when adopted by mechanistic organizations.
C.
It is more successful when goal-setting is performed not only by management, but by all team members, including lower-level staff.
D.
It is particularly successful in environments that are prone to having poor employer-employee relations.
Management-by-objectives (MBO) is a collaborative goal-setting framework where employees and management work together to define, plan, and achieve specific objectives. For this approach to be effective, the involvement of all team members, including lower-level staff, ensures buy-in, motivation, and alignment with the organization’s goals.
Although C is a true statement, it is also inclusive of the "Management By Objectives" definition. So it kinda doesn't make sense that C is saying that it would be MORE successful if employees participated in the setting of objectives - that's already a foregone conclusion that they were going to do that anyway. How can it be MORE successful if they are already doing what they should be by-definition already? If they didn't include the employees in the setting of objectives, then it wouldn't be the "Management By Objectives" method at all. D is the only one that makes sense because organizations that have poor employer-employee relations will do better with the employees being able to participate in setting the objectives - they feel more included and in charge of their own destinies, which increases their job satisfaction, which it turn increases their work ethic/quality.

under 4. Reinforces Commitment
The fact that their work is designed and monitored for the greater purpose reinforces the responsibility in them. It also helps employee motivation as employees are included in the goal-setting process and give them the extra push to complete the tasks.
would the answer be C instead of D?
why fir poor employer and employee relations?
