1. The expectancy theory proposes that ________.

employees can view work as being as natural as rest or play, and therefore the average person can learn to accept, and even seek, responsibility

the strength of a tendency to act in a certain way depends on the strength of our expectation of a given outcome and its attractiveness

extrinsic rewards will reduce intrinsic interest in a task

within every human being, there exists a hierarchy of five needs and as each of these needs becomes substantially satisfied, the next one becomes dominant

2. Collins Corporation has four machines available for processing certain jobs. Suppose that their processing times (in hours) for the next four jobs are as follows: Machine 1 Machine 2 Machine 3 Machine 4 Job1 5 6 8 7 Job2 3 5 6 4 Job3 12 13 15 14 Job4 8 10 7 11 a) Assuming that each machine can process only one job, formulate an integer program to help decide how the jobs should be assigned to the machines. b) Now suppose that each machine can do up to two jobs. Make the appropriate modification to your program. c) Suppose now that Collins learns that if a machine does more than one job a further two hours is required between the two jobs to reset that machine. How does this affect the model you developed in b) above?
