Answer to Question 1

C
Motivation theories can be divided into two categories: as content motivation theories and process motivation theories (Lussier, 1999). Content motivation theories include Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, Alderfer's expectancy-relatedness growth theory, and McClelland's manifest needs theory and model of achievement, power, and affiliation. Equity theory is considered to be a process motivation theory.

Answer to Question 2

D
Mintzberg's managerial taxonomy (1973) noted three distinct categories of roles that manager do, one of which is the decision-making role category. Some examples of decision roles include: entrepreneur, disturbance handler, allocator of resources, and negotiator. Liaison is considered to be part of the interpersonal managerial role set.
