This altered employee behavior mainly by:________A. increasing employee motivation to be less wasteful.B. helping employees to learn how to be less wasteful.C. altering situational factors and making it difficult to practice wasteful behavior.D. increasing aptitudes that make employees less wasteful.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is option C, ALTERING SITUATIONAL FACTORS AND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO PRACTICE WASTEFUL BEHAVIOUR.

Explanation:

Employee behaviour is defined as an employee’s reaction or response to a particular situation or circumstance at workplace. It is the way employees conduct themselves at work.

Employees need to behave sensibly at workplace not only to gain appreciation and respect from others but also to maintain a healthy work culture. One needs to adhere to the rules and regulations of workplace.

Using the question as an example, in order to reduce the amount of non-recyclable from each office and work stations, the containers for non-recyclable wastes were removed from the offices and workstations. This has altered the employees behavior which would in turn make it difficult for the employees to practice wasteful behaviour because the situational factors has been altered.

Therefore, the option that best suits the question is option C. ALTERING SITUATIONAL FACTORS AND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO PRACTICE WASTEFUL BEHAVIOR.
