Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: Mary Parker Follett saw identity with the group as the key to successful organizations. Rather than strongly identifying with the group, a theater audience, college classroom, and legislature are collections of individuals who are not particularly interested in being part of the group, making those choices incorrect. The collective nature of a beehive, on the other hand, fits Parker Follett's view of a successful organization well, making this choice the correct response.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: Parker Follett thought organizations worked well when employees felt a group ethic rather than a strong sense of independence, autonomy, or self-confidence.
