Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Employees seeking transfers to other divisions is a sign of dissatisfaction with their current work situation. The fact that turnover is low in the company as a whole suggests that the issue is specific to the Children's Book Division rather than the company as a whole. Option B is the most likely explanation, as employees' perception of their manager as unfair would likely contribute to a negative work environment and dissatisfaction with their jobs. Option A is a possible explanation, but is less likely given that turnover is low overall.  Options C, D, and E are less likely explanations as they do not specifically address the reasons why employees in the Children's Book Division are seeking transfers.
