Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of an organizational secondary intervention, as the team is providing the laptops and Skype to help reduce work-to-family conflict for the athletes. It is not an individual intervention, as it is being provided by the organization. The laptops and Skype can help reduce the stress of being away from family and friends while on the road, which can lead to work-to-family conflict. Therefore, the correct answer is D, organizational secondary intervention for work-to-family conflict.
