To reduce stress, managers need to make sure that employees ________

A) have jobs that match their abilities
B) maximize their productivity
C) don't work too many hours
D) don't work too few hours

Answer: A
Explanation: Different employees get stressed by different situations. One employee might enjoy the pressure of a work quota, for example, while a quota might cause another employee to become anxious and stressed. Therefore, there is no set remedy for reducing stress, such as maximizing or minimizing productivity, or working too many hours or too few hours. The best policy a manager can take is to try to match the employee's ability to withstand stress to the job that he or she has. This makes "have jobs that match their abilities" the correct response.
