Question

with increased responsibility and growth within the workplace, there are two types of barriers, actual and perceived. barriers that are actual are legitimate obstacles to growth. for example, if there are no available positions with increased responsibility or if additional certifications or degrees are required in order to take on the increased responsibility.
on the other hand, perceived barriers are thoughts about limitations without definitive knowledge of the barriers. if a barrier is merely perceived one will say i do not think i qualify, i do not think they will hire me or i think i will get in the way. perceived barriers may be eliminated simply by reading the job description or asking a supervisor.
to be promoted one must be able to get along, professionally with supervisors and coworkers. when growing in the workplace and with increased responsibilities, the required effort will likely increase but to compensate pay may increase as well. sometimes a new job title will come with increased responsibilities, however, one should not pursue growth only for the new title.
which of the following is not a good reason to pursue growth in the workplace?
to increase salary
to take on more responsibilities
because one takes pride in their work
for the titles only

Explanation:

The text mentions that when growing in the workplace, one should not pursue growth only for the new title. Taking on more responsibilities (which may lead to increased salary), having pride in work are valid reasons. But just for titles (without considering responsibilities etc.) is not a good reason.

Answer:

for the titles only
