Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Upper-level (same as top-level) managers are organizational executives who are primarily responsible for establishing goals and developing strategic plans.
Rationale 2: Middle-level managers supervise a number of first-level managers and are responsible for the activities in the departments they supervise.
Rationale 3: First-level managers are responsible for managing the work of nonmanagerial personnel and the day-to-day activities of a specific work group (rehabilitation unit in this case).
Rationale 4: Upper-level (same as top-level) managers are organizational executives who are primarily responsible for establishing goals and developing strategic plans.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The democratic leader encourages group discussion and decision making, provides constructive criticism, offers information, makes suggestions, and asks questions.
Rationale 2: The permissive leader recognizes the group's need for autonomy and self-regulation by assuming a hands-off approach. Allowing the group to come to their own decision, then accepting that would be the case in this situation.
Rationale 3: The bureaucratic leader relies on the organization's rules, policies, and procedures to direct the group's work efforts.
Rationale 4: A situational leader is one who adapts his or her leadership style to the situation.
