Explanation / Answer

22. D

Task significance is a measure of the positive influence of your job on other people’s lives. It could be on people you work with or people outside of your work. When your job has an impact on someone’s well being, your job is high in task significance (like Samantha’s job in this scenario).

23. D

Telecommuting is a type of work arrangement in which people can work from the comfort of their homes rather than work in an office as full-time employees. They can work on a flexible schedule, on a part-time basis, while still earning an income.

Although job sharing could be a somewhat close answer in this scenario, it is not the best option for Janice and Shane. If they share a job, they might still have to go to office everyday or work on a fixed schedule, even while sharing the work.
