Which of the following is not related to working conditions considered in work/job design?

A Methods and Measurements Analyst for Digital Devices needs to develop a time standard for the task of assembling a computer mouse.In a preliminary study,she observed one of her employees perform this task six times with the following results: What is the observed time (OT) for this task?

Tables of predetermined time standards make work measurement studies straightforward.

A Methods and Measurements Analyst for Digital Devices needs to develop a time standard for the task of assembling a computer mouse.In a preliminary study,she observed one of her employees perform this task six times with the following results: How many observations should be made if she wants to be 0.8664 confident that the maximum error in the observed time is 0.5 second? Assume that the standard deviation of the task time is 4 seconds.

Potential benefits of "self-directed teams" include higher productivity and greater worker satisfaction.

Work sampling provides a detailed elemental breakdown of a task for purposes of establishing reliable time standards.

In a stopwatch time study,the average time it takes a given worker to perform a task a certain number of times is the:

Given the following work sampling data,based upon 100 random observations of a particular worker: What is the estimated proportion of time this worker spends performing activity A? B? C?

For purposes of obtaining good time standards using a stopwatch time study,the analyst should try to avoid having the worker discover that he or she is being observed.

Which of the following is not an advantage of work sampling compared to stopwatch time study?

Although quality may be considered in compensation,quantity is always more important.

Which of the following most closely describes job enlargement?

Which of the following is not one of the techniques used in motion study analysis?

In a stopwatch time study,adjusting the normal time by an allowance factor for normal delays and interruptions results in the:

Time-based pay compensates employees according to the combination of the time the employee has worked and the amount of output they produce.

Methods analysis cannot be done for jobs that do not yet exist.

Many organizations have begun to realize that the productivity of their employees does not necessarily depend on their general health and well-being.

Specialization is a primary point of disagreement between the efficiency and behavioural approaches to job design.
