Answer:
Expectancy theory
Explanation:
Expectancy theory states that when an individual is faced with different choices they will be motivated in a certain way in choosing a particular option based on what they expect to be the result of the choice.
So behaviour is affected by perceived result or consequence of a particular choice.
In the given scenario Joyce works hard and puts in many extra hours, and getting a promotion is most important to Joyce.
So because of her expectations that manager must recognise that:
(1) she is putting in hard work and long hours to obtain a promotion,
(2) what motivates Joyce will change over time (if she does not get the promotion), and
(3) he must clearly show Joyce how to attain the desirable reward.
Answer:
Employees frequently complain about the inconsistent assistance they receive from the HR department due to its large size.
Explanation:
Having a specialized, embedded HR unit is beneficial to each, specific unit, as HR would cater to every department and its special needs. On the contrary, centralized HR tends to give inconsistent help, as they always assign a different person or team when a problem arises.
So, if the employees complained that they cannot receive adequate help from the centralized HR, it would be wise to do what Roberta suggested.
Answer:
. B). total production needs plus units in the ending materials inventory minus the units in the beginning materials inventory.
Explanation:
The budget period can be regarded as
period of time whereby one has the authority to spend the awarded funds in a way that meet the matching as well as the cost-sharing requirement. It should be noted that the amount of materials to be purchased during the budget period is equal to budgeted total production needs plus units in the ending materials inventory minus the units in the beginning materials inventory.
From what I understood in the problem, the total budget that covers all types of media is only $1,000 per month. For the allocation, each type of media would get at least 25% of the budget. If we infer on this information, there should only be 4 types of media, at least. This is because four 25% portions would equal to 100%. If it exceeds 25% for each of the four types, it would be over the $1000 budget. With that being said, it is also possible that there will be 3 or 2 types of media. Nevertheless, let's just stick to the least assumption of 25% for each of the 4 types.
If local newspaper advertising is one of the four types, then:
$1000(25%) = $250
It would get $250 from the overall budget.
