Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: C) Identifying leadership style according to the leadership grid does not give any information, whether relative or absolute, about the performance or effectiveness of a leader or manager. The leadership grid categorizes leaders based on concern for people and concern for results and task, not effectiveness or performance.

Answer to Question 2

The Hawthorne studies began in 1927 at Western Electric's Hawthorne Works near Chicago. Starting with scientific management, they tried to discover ways to improve employee performance. Puzzling results caused them to call in Elton Mayo to repeat the studies. Mayo discovered the concept of social systems and argued that social factors, not physical factors, are most important in improving productivity. While the studies weren't perfect, they opened the door to considering the importance of human needs, attitudes, and motives in regards to worker motivation and productivity.
