Read the following scenario and answer

question.

Maria is employed as a chef at Lekka

Sleep Hotel. She has been working there for five years and expects to be

promoted to head chef soon. She has attended several workshops and has

contributed a lot to improving the quality of food the hotels offer. During the

last few months, she has turned out to be an excellent chef at executive

functions. Unfortunately, her supervisor, Mrs Stevens who she does not get

along with well, is considering appointing someone from outside the

organisation in the position of the head chef. Mrs Stevens feels that the

kitchen staff are lazy and are not performing well.

What

are the disadvantages of Mrs Stevens employing an external candidate?

a    The individual's ability to fit in with the

rest of the organisation is unknown.

b    There would be unhealthy competition amongst

employees.

c    It will destroy the incentive of current

employees to strive for promotion.

d    There will be an increased adjustment problem.
