Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. Frequent documentation of employee behaviors will protect the manager from lawsuits, give
the manager more opportunity to communicate with employees, decrease recency error due to
documentation of behaviors, and increase the accuracy of the evaluation. Increasing leniency
and decreasing constructive criticism cause the staff to expect leniency in the future, increase
the potential for poor documentation, and not provide the opportunity for staff to learn from
their errors.

Rationale 1: Listening to music is relaxing but could be wasting time that could otherwise be used to prepare for the meeting.
Rationale 2: Using the time to refresh memories from the last meeting is the most productive use of the time.
Rationale 3: Getting doughnuts is a nice gesture but is not a productive one.
Rationale 4: Using the phone to make personal calls is a waste of professional time.
