3. What are the final stages of the conflict process?

• A. Antecedent conditions
• B. Perceived and felt conflict
• C. Suppression and resolution
• D. Conflict behavior

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The final stages of the conflict process involve suppression and resolution. After conflicts have been perceived and felt, individuals and parties typically move towards suppressing the conflict (trying to avoid it) and ultimately resolving it. Antecedent conditions refer to factors that exist before conflict arises and do not represent the final stages. Conflict behavior relates to the actions taken during a conflict rather than its final stages.

4. In dealing with conflict, the manager knows that feelings or perceptions about the situation will have an effect. According to Filey, what is this effect known as?

• A. Conflict suppression
• B. Resolution aftermath
• C. Antecedent conditions
• D. Manifest behavior

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Feelings or perceptions about the situation initiate behavior, known as manifest behavior. Antecedent conditions refer to preexisting conditions that may have led to the conflict but are not the immediate effect of feelings or perceptions. Resolution aftermath pertains to the consequences or outcomes following conflict resolution. Conflict suppression refers to the action of suppressing conflict without addressing its root causes, which is a subsequent step after the manifestation of behavior.

5. On a voting ballot, the individuals who are to be elected during a vote are called:

• A. Representatives.
• B. Candidates.
• C. Bargaining agents.
• D. Electorate.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct term for individuals who are to be elected during a vote is 'Candidates.' On a voting ballot, voters choose among the candidates running for a particular position or office. 'Representatives' (Choice A) are individuals who have already been elected to represent a group of people. 'Bargaining agents' (Choice C) typically refer to individuals negotiating on behalf of others, not those being elected. 'Electorate' (Choice D) refers to all the people in a country or area who are entitled to vote in an election, not specifically the candidates themselves.
