Which of the following statements is not essential for good personnel relations?

• A. Confidence in the organization
• B. Understanding the organization's purposes
• C. A desire for information about the organization
• D. Information about the organization being communicated to employees

Answer: (C)

Good personnel relations depend on trust, clarity, and open communication. When employees have confidence in the organization and understand its purposes, they’re more likely to cooperate and align their efforts with the organization’s goals. Regularly communicating information about the organization gives employees the context they need to do their work and helps prevent rumors or misunderstandings. A personal desire to seek information, while it can boost engagement, isn’t essential for good relations; strong relations can exist even if some employees aren’t actively pursuing information, as long as the necessary information is communicated clearly and is accessible.
