What is the best way to populate a dropdown ?

I need the managers list while adding an employee . i have an employee and manager table . 

while creating an employee , i need to populate managers list so that HR can assign the manager to an employee . in the interface i need to populate the Manager dropdown .

 

Option 1 

 

--Create a query entity to fetch all the managers 

--get the data subset 

-- initialize local!managers:rule!getManagers()

and display like below  

a!dropdownField(
label: "Manager",
labelPosition: "ADJACENT",
placeholderLabel: "--- Select a Manager ---",
choiceLabels:{index(local!managers.data,"name")},
choiceValues:{index(local!managers.data,"name")},
value: ri!manager.name,
saveInto: ri!manager.id,
validations: {}
)

 

are there any better approach ?
