ACCA Applied Knowledge · Business and Technology · Consequences of ineffectiveness at work
Tomas has been ineffective at managing his time and has missed several training sessions. At his annual review he is told he will not be considered for a vacancy in the finance team. Which consequence for the individual is this?
This is restricted career progression. Because Tomas's ineffectiveness has led to him being excluded from consideration for a vacancy, his advancement prospects are limited. Nothing suggests he was forced out, and the other options describe effects on colleagues or the organisation, not on him.

- CDemotivation of colleagues
- DIncreased organisational bureaucracy
Explanation
Being passed over for a vacancy because of poor effectiveness limits Tomas's career advancement. Constructive dismissal involves the employer breaching the contract, which is not described. Colleague demotivation and bureaucracy are not individual consequences here.
