Question

This is from the Freakanomics book

If Levitt's findings of parenting were generalizable to management, which of the following statements would be true?

A. Particularly good management really does not affect employee performance very much, but particularly bad management affects employee performance profoundly.

B. Particularly good management affects employee performance profoundly, but particularly bad management does not affect employee performance very much.

C. Both particularly good and particularly bad management affect employee performance profoundly.

D. Neither particularly good management nor particularly bad management affects employee performance very much.

Explanation / Answer

Answer A. Particularly good management really does not affect employee performance very much, but particularly bad management affects employee performance profoundly.

In the example Levitt gave, he spoke about his children's reading skills, which were initially bad but later on turned out to be okay with Levitt himself not worrying about it much, but had he stressed on it, things could have been different.
