質問 130
Eric is in charge of interviewing candidates for an open position in a hotel chain. As he considers each candidate, he finds himself quick to write off one young man in particular. This candidate has a strong resume and excellent credentials, but Eric decides that he just does not like this person and is disinclined to consider him a contender for the position.

  • B. Leniency
  • C. Cultural noise
  • D. Gut feeling
  • E. First impression

Answer choice B is incorrect because a cultural noise bias means the candidate responds with pointed answers that are aimed at making the interviewer happy rather than responding in a more natural or general way. Answer choice D is incorrect because a leniency bias is occurs when the interviewer is lenient in regard to a candidate and fails to take potential weaknesses into account. Answer choice E is incorrect because a nonverbal bias occurs when the interviewer is overinfluenced by body language instead of by the candidate's responses.

  • C. Money purchase
  • D. Profitsharing

正解: D

解説:
Explanation: A profitsharing plan, also known as a discretionary contribution plan, is considered to be best in a company that has highly variable annual profits. A money purchase plan offers employees a fixed annual percentage and thus is best in a company that has fairly consistent annual earnings. A cash balance plan is considered "portable" because employees can remove the money from the plan and convert the payment into other forms. A target benefit plan uses actuarial formulas to determine how much an employee will receive toward retirement.

  • C. Assurance of OSHA compliance
  • D. Survey of the workforce for both organizations

正解: D

解説:
Explanation: When one company acquires another, the first step for the acquiring company's human resources department is a survey of the workforce in both organizations. The goal is to identify redundant or conflicting positions. It may be that some of the employees in the acquired organization will need to be let go. Human resources departments will need to review the acquired organization's collective bargaining agreements and ensure compliance with OSHA regulations, but these activities should be performed subsequent to the workforce survey.

 

質問 136
What is the purpose of the Training Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program?

  • A. To create funding for employees who have been terminated for any reason
  • B. To work in coordination with the welfare system to support employees
  • C. To establish health benefits for employees after they have been laid off
  • D. To help employees who lose their jobs due to a rise in the number of imports
  • E. To improve the quality of employee working conditions

正解: D

解説:
Explanation: The Training Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program was designed specifically to provide assistance to employees who have lost their jobs due to a rise in the number of imports. In other words, when import levels shift and companies in the US begin importing items that were previously manufactured here, the manufacturing companies might close as a result leaving employees without jobs. Answer choice A is incorrect because the TAA was designed for a far more particular reason than just employees losing their jobs for any reason. Answer choice C is incorrect because the TAA is related to providing training for laidoff workers to receive new jobs instead of providing them with health benefits. Answer choice D is incorrect because the TAA program is designed for workers who have already lost their jobs rather than for those who currently have jobs. Answer choice E is incorrect because the TAA does not specifically work with welfare, while the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) does.

質問 138
Nine weeks after giving birth, Deirdre comes back to work on a reduced schedule. Instead of her normal 40hour week, she only works 30 hours. How many weeks of FMLA leave does Deirdre use for each of these thirtyhour weeks?

  • A. 0
  • B. 1/4
  • C. 1
  • D. 1/2

正解: B

解説:
Explanation: For every tenhour week Deirdre works, she uses 1/4 of an FMLA leave week. This is calculated by dividing the number of hours off in her reduced schedule by the number of hours in her normal schedule. Because she has three weeks left of FMLA leave, Deirdre may work twelve weeks of this reduced schedule before her leave expires.

  • C. Vacation pay policies are created under the guidelines of the FMLA
  • D. Vacation pay policies fall under the jurisdiction of stateestablished guidelines
  • E. Vacation pay policies are established by each company

正解: E

ERISA is the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, so it does not relate to vacation pay policies; therefore, answer choice C is incorrect. States do not establish vacation pay guidelines (apart from basic compensation requirements established at the federal level), so answer choice D is incorrect. And unions might vote for changes within vacation pay policies, but they are not responsible for creating these policies, so answer choice E is incorrect.

Which of the following is NOT a source of motivation identified in McClelland's acquired needs theory?

  • A. affiliation
  • B. power
  • C. wealth
  • D. achievement

正解: C

解説:
Explanation: Wealth is not one of the sources of motivation identified in McClelland's acquired needs theory. According to McClelland, people are driven to pursue achievement, affiliation, or power. Those who seek achievement will take some risks and listen to constructive criticism. However, these people want to ensure that they have responsibility for their work, because having a sense of ownership over the completed task is important for them. People who are motivated by affiliation seek to be accepted by their colleagues and peers. These people should not be isolated. People who seek power want to exert control over people or processes.

 

質問 146
Which approach to budgeting requires that every expense be justified?

  • A. historical budgeting
  • B. parallel budgeting
  • C. zerobased budgeting
  • D. bottomup budgeting

正解: C

解説:
Explanation: In zerobased budgeting, every expense must be justified. Zerobased budgeting programs attempt to streamline the business by judging the necessity of every item. Historical budgeting, on the other hand, assumes that the expenses from previous years will be carried over. Obviously, zerobased budgeting is a more timeconsuming process, though it can produce substantial savings. Zerobased and historical budgeting programs may be executed in a topdown or bottomup fashion, depending on whether top managers or all relevant managers are included.
