Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Labour market conditions refer to external factors such as unemployment rates, competition for talent, and government regulations that can directly affect HRM practices such as recruitment, selection, and compensation. Option A (increasing empowerment) is an internal factor that may be influenced by HRM practices. Option B (decreasing work force diversity) is not a desirable goal for HRM as diversity is often valued for the benefit it brings to the organization.
