Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Males and females tend to communicate differently. Women use communication to express emotions or appreciation whereas men's motivation is often control. The fact that women express emotions in communication does not mean they are more emotional, but just that they generally express emotions more freely.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The power-coercive approach is based on the application of power from a legitimate source and has minimal participation by target members. The normative-reeducative approach is based on the assumption that human motivation depends on the sociocultural norms and the individual's commitment to these norms. The empirical-rational approach is based on two beliefs; that people are rational, and that they will change if it is in their self-interest. Legitimate power is not a strategy to manage change, rather it references the source of authority in a structured organization.
