Answer 1

Answer:

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.
