Modern management theory devotes considerable attention to employee empowerment.
Done appropriately, employee empowerment:

  1. Increases managerial power.
  2. Means lack of control.
  3. Is independent of compensation.
  4. Does not require full employee participation in decision making.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Modern management theory emphasizes employee empowerment. The question is not whether employees should be empowered, but the circumstances in which it should occur. The paradox isthat managers who appropriately surrender power by empowering employees actually gain power. They have an increased ability to achieve desired results.

  2. Ignore a behavior.
  3. Withdraw an unpleasant condition when a desired behavior occurs.
  4. Encourage a given behavior.

Answer(s): D

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The most commonly used influence tactics are consultation, rational persuasion, and inspirational appeals. The least commonly used are pressure tactics, upward appeals, and exchange tactics.

According to the contingency theory of leadership, a manager will be most effective when the manager:

  1. Consistently initiates structure.
  2. Adapts style to specific circumstances.
  3. Is task oriented.
  4. Is relationship oriented.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Fred E. Fiedler's contingency theory of management holds that no single style of directing is best for all occasions. A successful director (leader) must, for each situation, balance his or her formal authority, the task structure, and the leader's relationships with the pertinent group members.
