Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Correct. If management believes that empowerment problems lie with the employees, then these attitudes themselves are likely inhibiting empowerment in the workplace.
B) Incorrect. Personal insecurities as an inhibitor of empowerment refers to a manager's fear of losing recognition and rewards. If management believes that empowerment problems lie with the employees, then these attitudes themselves are likely inhibiting empowerment in the workplace.
C) Incorrect. Need for control acts as an inhibitor of empowerment when the manager believes that absence of clear direction will lead to employee confusion and failure. If management believes that empowerment problems lie with the employees, then these attitudes themselves are likely inhibiting empowerment in the workplace.
D) Incorrect. If management believes that empowerment problems lie with the employees, then these attitudes themselves are likely inhibiting empowerment in the workplace. Past negative experience with empowerment is not the most likely cause of the manager's inhibitions.
