Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Instead of relying on common sense, OB relies on a base of knowledge developed through empirical research -that is, research based on systematic observation and measurement. Four methods are: Case study  A thorough description of a series of events that occurred in a particular organization. Naturalistic observation  A scientist records various events and behaviors observed in a work setting. Experimental research  Behavior is carefully studied in a lab or the field to see how a particular variable that is systematically varied affects other aspects of behavior. Survey research  Questionnaires are developed and administered to people to measure how they feel about various aspects of themselves, their jobs, and their organizations.
