Answer to Question 1

MBWA is management by wandering around. It involves dropping in unannounced at a work site and engaging employees in spontaneous conversations. MBWA can improve the level of trust between employees and management by opening up new channels of communication.

Explanation: A) Incorrect. Skill variety involves the opportunity to use multiple skills in performing work. This is not an issue that Millie is expressing concern about.
