Answer 1

Option B

Instrumental value

Step-by-step explanation:

Instrumental value refers to the value of objects that provide a means to some desirable end and that satisfy some human needs and wants.

The value of the worker in the work place is measured based on the achievements that are accomplished through the efforts and input of the worker. In essence, the value of the worker is instrumental. It is valued in the sense that his effort is actually a means to an end which is profit for the organization.

If a worker is more productive than others, his instrumental value will be higher when compared to his fellow co workers.
