Work Application Sample Answers
Most of the answers are actual student answers or based on student answers. You may give these
answers as part of your lecture before, after, or in place of getting student answers.
1-1. Describe the specific resources used by a present or past boss. Give the manager’s job
title and department.
My boss was the branch manager at Merchants Bank. The primary resource she used was the
tellers (human resources) to get the job done. When the manager was filling in for tellers at lunch
or on break, she and the other tellers conducted banking transactions for savings and checking
accounts on the computer terminal (physical resources), which was connected to the mainframe
computer at the home office. The computer was the main information resource on account
activities. We were handling financial resources all day long.
1-2. Identify a specific manager, preferably one who is or was your boss, and explain what
makes him or her successful or unsuccessful. Give examples.
My boss owns Bill’s Homemade Ice Cream. Bill’s is only open in the summer. Bill, who is
around age 50, is successful because he only checks in a couple of times a day. The rest of the
day he is free to go where he wants to and do whatever he wants to do. The reason for his
success is that he hires good college students to work and trains them well so that he does not
need to be around to supervise them.
1-3. Select a manager, preferably one who is or was your boss, and state the specific
management skills he or she uses on the job.
My boss, Jeff, is the manager at Jiffy Lube. Jeff needs technical skills to lube the cars because
part of his time is spent doing it, and he also has to train the workers how to lube the cars. Jeff
needs interpersonal skills in order to motivate his employees to come to work and to do a good

job. Jeff uses his decision-making skills to determine how many people to schedule, when to
schedule them, when to order more supplies, and so on.
1-4. Identify a specific manager, preferably one who is or was your boss, and give examples
of how that person performs each of the four management functions.
My boss, Sonia, owns her own beauty salon. Sonia has to plan the work schedules for 15
employees. She has to assign her customers to specific hairdressers, pedicurists, and/or
manicurists. When people have multiple services, coordination is important so that customers
don’t have to wait around for the next service. Sonia does the staffing by hiring and training all
the employees. Sonia leads employees to get them to do a good job. She continually reminds all
of us how important customer satisfaction is. It works because most of our customers always
come back to us, and new customers tend to become regulars, too. Sonia spends a lot of her time
talking to the customers and making sure they are happy with their haircut or nails; and if they
are not, she has the employee try to fix the problem. Once in a while she will give a customer the
next visit free so she doesn’t lose that person’s business.
1-5. Identify a specific manager, preferably one who is or was your boss, and give examples
of how that person performs in each of the three management role categories. Be sure to
identify at least one of the three or four roles in each category.
I worked this past summer primarily catching boxes as they came off the conveyer belt. My boss,
John, spent most of the time playing the interpersonal role of leader because the job was pretty
boring, and he tried to help us have a good time by joking around and gaining satisfaction from
the people we work with. John spent most of his time in the informational role as the monitor.
When the machines were acting up, he would tinker with them; or when he couldn’t fix them,
he’d play the disseminator role to get maintenance to come fix the machines. When we have a
machine not working, it’s a crisis, and John plays the decisional role of disturbance handler to fix
them.
1-6. Identify the three levels of management in a specific organization by level and title. Be
sure to give the organization’s name.
