Answer 1

What happens if standards are set too high or too low?

Standards may not achieve their intended results if the standards are too high or low. High standards may demotivate the emplyees on underachievement while low standards may give a feeling to the employees that they have been doing exceptionally good otherwise also and not enhance their efforts

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt the standards you were being held to were not “fair”?

Yes, in my university assessment of thesies I found that my write up has been assessed as plagged from some unknown sources which for a short lines in parts being coming up in some other article also. Considering internet is very vast and millions of documents are being processed, linency must be given to the student to explore the internet and they not mix words or alter statements so that their document is not plagged. Sometimes changing the language or statement structure takes a lots of efforts of the student which diminishes the basic requirement of learning the concept

From your research, did you find examples where adhering to strict standards resulted in any unintended consequences??
