E) work itself
Question 2

Indicate whether the statement is true or false
-
Answer to Question 1
D
Explanation: D) There is a strong correspondence between how well people enjoy the social context of their work place and how satisfied they are overall. Ramiro is very active with his coworkers, which leads to his job satisfaction. Ramiro's pay is under 40,000 which would, in general, indicate a less comfortable lifestyle and lower level of satisfaction. Ramiro has been doing the same thing for six years, indicating little promotion or stress. The work itself is repetitive and would not usually indicate a high level of satisfaction.
Answer to Question 2
FALSE
Explanation: The correlation is in fact zero as intelligent people tend to be more critical of job conditions.
