1. What management activit y characterizes the priorities that existed during
the human relations era of management?
a. Collaborative decision making
b. Punishing workers who were unproductive
c. Granting equal rights to men and women
d. Application of laissez -faire leadership



ANS: A



Feedback:



The human relations era of management science emphasized concepts
of participatory and humanistic management in which participative
management was espoused . This included workers in decision making,
which was innovative at the time. This did not mean that men and
women gained equal rights. Leadership became more democratic but
was not characterized as laissez -faire. Punitive actions were not central
to human relations management.

The basic premise of interactional theory is that leadership behavior is
generall y determined by the relationship between the leader’s
personalit y and the specific situation. The nurse would not ignore other
variables, such as finances, employee motivation, and the risks for
failure, but these are not the central considerations in the model of
interactional leadership.
