Preposition "OR" or "FOR" ?
Q) The staff will need to work hard ______ getting the product completed by the deadline or the company will lose the contract.
a) in b) on c) for
The correct answer is b) on. But I think we can use the preposition of for there. Am I wrong ? Can the preposition of "for" indicate " purpose", " reason", or "about" ?
Please someone explain its reason to me.

You cannot use 'for' there, although it can indicate purpose, as in 'I work for pleasure'.

I'm going to understand it as one of the cases I can't use "for". Thank you so much,Mr.Micawber.
