Answer to Question 1

E
Explanation: E) Contingency variables are variables that moderate the relationship between two or more variables. For example, an OB study can say x leads to y, but only under conditions specified in z. Because humans are somewhat unpredictable, all OB studies must have contingency variables. By limiting his results to only male-oriented industries, Raymond is able to make a generalization.

Answer to Question 2

A
Explanation: A) One issue that does seem to differ between men and women, especially when the employee has preschool-age children, is preference for work schedules.
