Answer to #1

C
Explanation: C) Negotiators who are agreeable or extroverted are not very successful in distributive bargaining. People who are highly interested in having positive relationships with other people are poor negotiators. Men tend to negotiate better outcomes than women. Positive moods and emotions appear to lead to more integrative agreements.

Answer to #2

B
Explanation: B) Group order ranking requires the evaluator to place employees into a particular classification, such as top one-fifth or second one-fifth. If a rater has 20 employees, only four can be in the top fifth and, of course, four must also be relegated to the bottom fifth. This method is often used in recommending students to graduate schools.

Answer to #3

D
Explanation: D) Forced comparisons evaluate one individual's performance against the performance of another or others. It is a relative, rather than an absolute, measuring device.

Answer to #4

Men and women negotiate differently, and these differences affect outcomes. Men tend to place a higher value on status, power, and recognition, whereas women tend to place a higher value on compassion and altruism. Men tend to value economic outcomes more than women, while women value relationship outcomes more than men. In negotiations, women tend to behave in a less assertive, less self-interested, and more accommodating manner. Because of this, other negotiators seek to exploit female negotiators, often leaving women with poorer outcomes. However, when women behave assertively, their behavior is viewed more negatively than if the same behavior were demonstrated by men.

Answer to #5

FALSE
Explanation: During the encounter stage of the socialization process, a new employee compares his or her expectationsabout the job, co-workers, the boss, and the organization in generalwith the reality in the organization. To work out any problems discovered during the encounter stage, the new member changes, or goes through the metamorphosis stage.

Answer to #6

FALSE
Explanation: On entry into the organization, the new member enters the encounter stage and confronts the possibility that expectationsabout the job, co-workers, the boss, and the organization in generalmay differ from reality.
