Answer to Question 1

B
A number of studies have been done regarding the characteristics of professions. Pavalko (1971) noted
that work based upon systematic body of theory and abstract knowledge and the existence of a code of
ethics were two characteristics of a profession. Manthey (2002) affirmed that autonomy of decision
making was another component of professions, and Public Law 93-360 on Collective Bargaining
stated that results cannot be standardized over time (not can be).

b. Correct: The key source of power for productivity and accomplishment in the workplace is a person's position and the power that is built into that position.
c. Incorrect: The key source of power for productivity and accomplishment in the workplace is a person's position and the power that is built into that position.
d. Incorrect: The key source of power for productivity and accomplishment in the workplace is a person's position and the power that is built into that position.
