Co-ordinating looks at ensuring that all staff work together (i.e. increasing goal 
congruence). 
237 B 
Staff bonuses mean that the manager is offering her staff a reward for adopting the system. 
She is also relying on referent power by using her charisma/relationship with her 
employees. 
238 B 
The grid measures concern for production on the horizontal axis and concern for people on 
the vertical axis. A 1.9 manager has the lowest production score on the horizontal axis 
(little work is achieved), but the highest people score on the vertical axis (the manager is 
attentive to the needs of people). 
239 C 
Tells = Autocratic; Sells = Persuasive; Consults = Participative; Joins = Democratic.
240 A 
Statement 2 is the definition of ‘style’ theories. 
RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION OF EMPLOYEES 
241 A 
It is unlikely that poor recruitment and selection will increase the employee motivation. 
Hiring the wrong person for the job usually has a detrimental impact on their motivation as 
well as (potentially) the motivation of those around them. However, the remaining options 
are all possible consequences. 
242 D 
Individuals with specific skills are likely to be in receipt of trade, technical or professional 
journals (e.g. Accountancy Age) and accustomed to using those journals to find a job. 
A disadvantage of such journals is that they can have long closing dates and may contain 
many similar advertisements. 
243 B 
The personal specification is focused on the attributes a candidate needs to posses in order 
to fulfil the job requirements. The job description is focused on duties and responsibilities 
of the post, whereas job evaluation considers the worth of the job to the company and 
therefore how much the jobholder is to be paid.
