Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) Employees who survive a layoff and stay employed with the company also evaluate the fairness of the downsizing process, according to one study, particularly in individualistic countries. Organizations that are able to demonstrate fairness are, therefore, more likely to make the hoped-for financial gains from downsizing.

Explanation: E) Work-life conflicts grabbed management's attention in the 1980s, largely as a result of the growing number of women with dependent children entering the workforce. In response, most major organizations took actions to make their workplaces more family friendly.
