Answer 1

16) Lower work load and lower performance expectations.

Leaders in the 'in-group' will receive more challenging tasks and interesting works and they are expected to behave in more responsible manner. So, as per question this is the right option, disproving all the other options.

31) Supportive leaderhip style

In this leadership style leaders behave with empathy and degree of sensitivity creating pleasant environment at work. This explanation disproved all the other options.

46) Equity theory of motivation says that employees are motivated through fairness though they are not immediately rewarded.

• Expectancy theory is the theory of motivation, where employees expect rewards after acheiving their targets. So, wrong
• Maslow's theory is mostly based on satisfaction of employee's various needs. So, wrong
• Social exchange theory aids in studying the social behaviour of humans. So, wrong

47) Distributive injustice is the perceived feeling of a person believing that he/she is treated unfair in terms of payment given to them. This definition matches the case scenario

• Procedural injustice is unfairness in the procedures of a company. So, wrong
• Interactional injustice occures when an issues is elevated at the work places and it results in some aggressiveness. So, wrong
• Relational injustice occurs when favouritism is given for one employee rather than the other by the higher management. So, wrong

48) The main objective of setting safety performance goal is to prevent accidents at the workplace and these goals have to be measurable. So option c is right, where the measurable goals is to reduce accidents by 50% in the coming year

Once measurable goals are set then only we can set policies, motivate employees to follow them and also engage more people to follow safety measures.
