Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: C) Job rotation increases the flexibility with which an organization can adapt to a change. It reduces boredom and increases motivation. Productivity tends to reduce when a worker moves into a new position and supervisory workload tends to increase because supervisors may have to spend more time answering questions and monitoring the work of recently rotated employees.

Explanation: D) Pride is generally a positive emotion in Western individualistic cultures such as the United States, but Eastern cultures such as China and Japan view pride as undesirable. People from all over the world interpret negative emotions as dangerous and destructive, and desire positive emotions such as love and happiness.
