The type of system of promotion that is in effect at the group home for disabled adults is a merit-based promotion system.
Explanation:
Merit-based promotions are granted due to the favorable job performance of the employee or because they have shown a particular competence or capability in their record of service for the organization or firm. This is in contrast to seniority-based promotions, which are generally decided based on the length of time someone has been employed at a company. Sometimes there are accusations in merit-based systems that management favors certain employees over others. This is why larger firms usually seek a way to recognize merit objectively to avoid accusations of favoritism. In merit-based systems, employees are motivated to do their best work and to contribute to overall organizational effectiveness.
Dr. Linzle has implanted an electrode in the hypothalamus of a rat. When the rat's brain is electrically stimulated, the rat starts to eat again, even if it has just finished a large meal. The electrode is most likely activating the LATERAL HYPOTHALAMUS.
