Human resources director: In the past, mentorship at my company was informal. But our new mentor program pairs an employee seeking mentorship with a manager or executive who has volunteered to mentor for a certain length of time. It has also been proposed that we use a personality test to better match employees with mentors, but I have decided against this, for in my judgement it would reduce participation in the program.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the best justification for the human resources director's decision?
A - Employees at all levels are more likely to participate in mentoring programs if those programs are organized on a formal basis
B - Informal mentoring arrangements at the human resources director's company have helped many employees become more productive
C - A potential mentor is less likely to regard another employee as a competitor if that person has been randomly assigned to the mentor
D - Managers and executives are more likely to volunteer as mentors if they observe their peers doing so
E - Personality tests are required as part of the pre-employment screening process at the human resource director's company
Earlier : Informal Ment.
Now : Paired with Exec/Mgr (Who Volntrd).
Prop : Paired by using Person test.
Auth : It iwll red perticipation.
New method of pairing Exec/Mgr with employees using personality test will reduce participation.
(A) if those programs are organized on a formal basis - The author talks about new method.
(B) have helped many employees become more productive - We are not concerned, we are concerned about the effects of the new method and why it will reduce participation.
(C) Randomly assigned = Pairing + Personality test , regarding other employee as competition = NEgative feeling ------> reduced participation, Looks good.
(D) observe their peers doing so - Irrelevant.
(E) required as part of the pre-employment screening process - Irrelevant as discussion is on new mentorship program, further it doesn't answer the question why the method will lead to reduced participation.
Answer will be (C)
