Answer 1

1. D. Achieving person-job fit

When we consider the primary goal of employee selection, it is not to build a diverse workforce or to avoid the repercussions of negligent hiring but to aid the needs of the company by hiring individuals fit for the position being offered based on their skills and competencies.

2. C. Reduce dysfunctional behavior

When we consider effective employee screening as a process, we believe its main aim and goals to add value to the workplace and the workforce, any factor of disruption can be screened in the process of hiring by effectively employing proper background checks, thereby committing to a healthy practice which aids in controlling or reducing dysfunctional behavior by individuals in the workforce.
