Arrange the steps of the employment process in the correct sequence :

I. Selection
II. Interview
III. Reference check
IV. Test
V. Advertising
Codes :

A.II, IV, I, III, V
B.V, I, IV, II, III
C.II, III, IV, V, I
D.V, II, IV, III, I

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: D

The correct sequence is V, II, IV, III, I: advertising, interview, test, reference check and selection. The vacancy is advertised, applicants are interviewed, tested, their references are checked, and the final selection is made.

The options that place selection before the interview and test, or put the advertising last, do not follow the order in which an employer proceeds. The same order is used in most employers' procedures, in which the advertisement draws applicants and the earlier steps screen them out before the final selection.

Arrange the following steps required in executing a process chart technique for task analysis

I. Select the task.
II. Break the operation of the task into sub operations.
III. Prepare the sheet for process analysis.
IV. Analyse the observations made.
V. Observe the task in execution.
VI. Discuss the suggestions with the worker for repeated tasks.
VII. Give suggestions for improvement.
Codes :

A.I, III, II, IV, V, VI, VII
B.I, II, III, V, IV, VI, VII
C.I, II, III, IV, VI, V, VII
D.II, I, III, IV, VI, V, VII

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

The correct order is I, II, III, V, IV, VI, VII. The task is selected, its operation broken into sub-operations, the sheet is prepared for process analysis, the task is observed in execution, the observations are analysed, the suggestions are discussed with the worker for repeated tasks, and the suggestions for improvement are given.

Options that analyse the observations before the task has been observed, or that break the task down before it is selected, cannot be right.

Arrange in correct sequence the steps to be adopted for preparing a time and activity schedule :

I. Enlisting all the tasks performed in a day.
II. Estimate time spent for each task.
III. Classify tasks as flexible and inflexible.
IV. Determine the sequential order.
V. Analyse the schedule.
VI. Include meta plans for any extra time.
VII. Prepare the final time and activity plan.
Codes :

A.I, III, II, IV, VI, V, VII
B.I, III, II, V, IV, VI, VII
C.I, V, IV, III, II, VI, VII
D.I, III, V, II, VI, IV, VII

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

The keyed sequence is I, III, II, V, IV, VI, VII. All the tasks performed in a day are listed, classified as flexible and inflexible, and the time spent on each is estimated; the schedule is analysed, the sequential order is determined, a provision is made for any extra time, and the final plan is prepared.

The other options analyse the schedule or fix the order before the tasks are classified and timed, so the answer is taken from the key.

Arrange the following stages of acquisition of skills as given by Seymour :

I. Learning the sequence of activities.
II. Using information more efficiently.
III. Structuring sensory-motor patterns.
IV. Determining the sensory channel for each item of activity.
V. Attaining the right set in the sensory channel.
VI. Diminishing conscious attention.
Codes :

A.I, III, IV, V, II, VI
B.I, IV, V, II, VI, III
C.I, IV, II, V, III, VI
D.I, IV, V, II, III, VI

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: D

The keyed sequence of Seymour's stages in the acquisition of skills is I, IV, V, II, III, VI. The learner learns the sequence of activities, finds the sensory channel for each item, attains the right set in it, uses the information more efficiently, structures sensory-motor patterns, and conscious attention diminishes.

The other sequences move the structuring of sensory-motor patterns or the fall in conscious attention to an earlier place, which does not agree with the key.

Match the following symbols used in process chart with the event :

Seven process chart symbols labelled a to g: a circle, an inverted triangle, a capital D shape, a hollow arrow, a square, a circle containing an arrow, and a square containing a circle

List-II	Event
i.	Operation cum transportation

viii.	Storage
ix.	Movement

A.a-vii, b-viii, c-ii, d-iv, e-v, f-i, g-vi
B.a-vii, b-iv, c-viii, d-ix, e-v, f-i, g-vi
C.a-vii, b-ii, c-iv, d-v, e-i, f-viii, g-v
D.a-vi, b-viii, c-ii, d-iv, e-v, f-i, g-vii

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

The keyed matching is the circle with operation, the inverted triangle with storage, the D shape with delay, the arrow with transport, the square with inspection, the circle with an arrow inside with operation cum transportation, and the circle in a square with inspection cum operation. That is a-vii, b-viii, c-ii, d-iv, e-v, f-i, g-vi.

The other codes give the circle, which is an operation, to inspection cum operation, or give the square to a movement, which does not agree with the standard symbols of a process chart.
