Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ben's good relationships with co-workers and supervisor can provide him with social support, which helps to moderate stress. Additionally, his five years of experience in the organisation may have helped him develop coping strategies for dealing with stress. Therefore, the best choice is D - experience and social support. Choice A (self-efficacy and social support) is partially correct, as self-efficacy can also help moderate stress, but it does not explain the importance of experience. Choice B (experience and internal locus of control) is incorrect, as there is no mention of Ben having an internal locus of control. Choice C (self-efficacy and experience) is incorrect, as it does not account for the importance of social support.
