Q1:

Statement: The higher echelons of any organization are expected to be models of observational learning and should not be considered as merely sources of reward and punishments. Assumptions:
  1. Employees are likely to be sensitive enough to learn by observing the behaviour of their bosses.
  2. Normally bosses are considered as sources of reward and punishment.

A Only assumption I is implicit

B Only assumption II is implicit

C Either I or II is implicit

D Neither I nor II is implicit

E Both I and II are implicit

ANS:E - Both I and II are implicit
