support the opening of new retail stores. Which step in the ADDIE
process identifies the behavioral results of the program?
Design
Development

results expected from the program.
Which statement exemplifies Hersey-Blanchard's situational
leadership theory?
*Over time individuals require a different type of direction and
leadership.
*Leaders need to be charismatic because employees dislike rigid
controls and inherently want to accomplish something.
*A team leader is one equally concerned with people and
production (task) to the maximum degree.
*Leaders don't need personal relationships with mentors to learn
from them. - Answer>> Over time individuals require a different
type of direction and leadership.
Rationale
,The Hersey-Blanchard theory states that effective leaders change
their leadership style to provide the level of direction and
interaction that individual employees need at that point in their
development. Since one employee's needs will differ from
another's and since an employee's needs six months from now
will be different from the employee's present needs, leaders must
be able to identify an individual's current needs and provide the
most effective levels of direction (from managing closely to
delegating) and motivation (from selling the employee on the task
at hand to empowering the employee through participative
decision making).
Which court case established the criteria for disparate impact?
Griggs v. Duke Power
Phillips v. Martin Marietta Corp.
Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company
National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius -
Answer>> Griggs v. Duke Power
rationale
Griggs v. Duke Power recognized disparate impact and
established that it is not necessarily enough to show a lack of
discriminatory intent. Phillips v. Martin Marietta Corp. applied the
sex discrimination provisions of Title VII to employment decisions.
Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company involved sex
discrimination in pay under Title VII. National Federation of
Independent Business v. Sebelius considered two key PPACA
provisions.
In terms of risk management, what is a risk control?
*Contingency plan to be implemented in the event of a crisis
*Mechanism to collect data for reporting to management
*System to prevent the occurrence of a risk
, *Measure taken to reduce the probability or severity of a threat -
Answer>> Measure taken to reduce the probability or severity of
a threat
Rationale
In risk management terminology, the most inclusive answer here
is that a risk control is any measure that modifies risk by
decreasing the likelihood that a risk event will occur or the impact
that the event would have on the organization.
An organization has experienced significant turnover among its
creative writers. During exit interviews, the writers have
expressed dissatisfaction with rigid starting times, a lack of
recognition for their work, and poor communication between
managers and employees. How should the organization
incorporate the social well-being aspect in its action plan to
address the issue?
Consider the overall health issues this has caused.
Gauge the level of stress of the writers.
Establish a work/life program that allows flexibility.
Adjust the organizational culture to support these challenges. -
Answer>> Establish a work/life program that allows flexibility.
Rationale
The social aspect of employee well-being focuses on work
relationships, work/life balance, equity, respect, and
connectedness.
Which task is vital when assessing strategic objectives?
* Communicating the intent and purpose of the strategic initiatives
* Ensuring that there is control of drift in each business unit's
strategy
