Answer to Question 1

Answer: Probably not. While work redesign helps eliminate situational stressors that arise in the workplace, it is typically oriented toward increasing freedom and autonomy for lower-level workers. Here, Chet's primary problem is that he lacks sufficient time; it is not that Chet lacks the decision-making ability to change his situation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Community, which helps eliminate encounter stress, can be achieved by setting up work teams. In this situation, it appears that Chet feels isolated because he individually deals with employees and problems in the plant. One step he should consider is to hire an assistant. Another he should consider is to set up special work teams to brainstorm and generate creative ideas. This would help him feel more of a sense of community.
