Answer to Question 1

B
Organizational social structure is defined as the ways in which work is divided and coordinated among members and the resulting network of relationships, roles, and work groups (e.g., units, departments).

Answer to Question 2

C
From the information given, there are 32 weeks of vacation (40 hours x 32 weeks = 1280 hours), 11 days of education (11 days x 8 hours = 88 hours), 15 days of orientation (15 days x 8 hours = 120 hours), and 18 days of sick time anticipated (18 days x 8 hours = 144) or 1280 + 88 + 120 + 144 = 1632 hours of nonproductive time. This will leave 10,848 hours of productive time availa-ble, based on the information available and the fact that the manager is not anticipating sick time for RN 6 in the upcoming budget year.
