Q: The question "all of the following can be done by managers to help layoff survivors except" has a different answer on each of your previous test. On the Spring 2011 test, question 18, the correct answer is "To give the survivors a stronger sense of control," but on fall of 2010, question 15, the correct answer is "Give them more tasks to do to take their minds off the layoff." With the fall of 2010 though, one of the answers is giving them a stronger sense of control. I was just a little confused on which answer would be correct.
A: The “…more tasks…” answer is wrong. I must have forgotten to fix the answer key I uploaded. Oops…mf

Q: While reviewing the previous tests in preparation for Thursdays exam, I stumbled upon a question where I am unsure of the correct answer. The questions is on the Sept. 2010 Exam 1A. The actual question is "A small industrial fabricator's posting of signs in its plants which read, "Always obey the golden rule!" is an example of a(n)". The correct answer is espoused value. I, on the other hand, believe this would be an observable artifact. I was hoping you could clarify this for me.
A: The act of posting the signs is espousing a value, but the signs themselves are observable artifacts. It was a bad question, and I accepted both answers. Sorry I forgot to update the posted version of the answer key.
