Answer to Question 1

TRUE
Explanation: Institutions are cultural factors that act as guidelines for appropriate behavior for organizational structure. Institutional theory describes some of the forces that lead many organizations to have similar structures and, focus on pressures that aren't necessarily adaptive. In fact, many institutional theorists try to highlight the ways corporate behaviors sometimes seem to be performance oriented but are actually guided by unquestioned social norms and conformity.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
Explanation: Some individuals read interpersonal interactions well, fit their behavior to situational needs, and excel at networking. Studies from multiple countries around the world have similarly shown that higher levels of political skill are associated with higher levels of perceived job performance.
