Answer to Question 1

B
Formal leadership is based upon occupying a particular position in an organization. Informal leadership is shown by an individual who demonstrates leadership behavior outside of a formal leadership role or as a member of a group. Leadership itself is a process of influence whereby the leader influences others toward goal achievement. Management is a process to achieve organizational goals.

Answer to Question 2

A
The process motivation theories are equity theory and expectancy theory. The content motivation theories include Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, Aldefer's expectancy-relatedness-growth theory, and Herzberg's hygiene maintenance factors and motivation factors.
