Discussion
Satisfaction with co-workers, promotion opportunities, the nature of work, and pay goes with high performance among those with strong growth needs. Among those with weak growth needs, no such relationship is present - and, in fact, satisfaction with promotion opportunities goes with low performance.
This passage best supports the statement that:
Answer: C
Correct answer: relationship between job satisfaction and performance is moderated by growth need.
The passage reports the link twice, with opposite results. Among employees with strong growth needs, satisfaction accompanies high performance; among those with weak growth needs there is no such relationship, and satisfaction with promotion opportunities even goes with low performance.
A relationship that changes direction depending on a third variable is, by definition, moderated by it. That is why the option claiming a direct and close link is wrong - it holds for only one of the two groups.
