Question

The CEO scraps the company commission-based reward system because it rewards employees for inappropriate behavior. This is an example of
a) ethical behavior.
b) designing the organization.
c) unethical behavior.
d) the failure to maintain the status quo

Answer 1

Answer: Option D

       

Explanation: In simple words, status quo refers to the existing conditions of operations and affairs in an organisation with respect to different perspectives. It implies being constant in the affairs and not changing the variables if the achievement of desired results is happening.

In the given case, CEO changed the compensation system due to change in behavior of employees. Thus, we can conclude that the manager was unable to maintain the status quo.
