Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

E
Explanation: E) If the company just finished its peak season, during which employees were required to work overtime and on weekends, then this would explain their low morale. Using coercive techniques under such conditions would not be effective. If current work volumes are high, and if the option of hiring temp workers is not available to the company, then coercive techniques might be required. If the company runs the risk of losing business to a rival firm due to poor productivity, then the use of coercion would make sense. The argument is only slightly strengthened by the fact that the company has taken several efforts to improve employee morale and motivation.
