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.

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.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
