Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) The organization-wide competency model would identify the groups of competencies that all employees in any organization as a whole need to have for high performance. The competencies are not specific to any role, job, or position but are needed by all employees in the organization.

Answer to Question 2

A
Explanation: A) While employers may choose to provide developmental opportunities to enhance certain competencies, it is rarely required. Whether or not development is supported through the workplace, the job of continually developing competencies falls squarely on the employee and it does not end when you reach a certain job level. To remain competitive, the employee needs to find appropriate developmental activities and commit their own time and any financial resources needed to enhance their skills, knowledge, and abilities.
