Answer to Question 1

MBWA is management by wandering around. It involves dropping in unannounced at a work site and engaging employees in spontaneous conversations. MBWA can improve the level of trust between employees and management by opening up new channels of communication.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation: A) Incorrect. Skill variety involves the opportunity to use multiple skills in performing work. This is not an issue that Millie is expressing concern about.

D) Incorrect. Autonomy is the opportunity to choose how and when the work will be done. This is not an issue that Millie is expressing concern about.
