Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Training supervisors to increase employee self-confidence and developing a culture of support and learning are both effective ways to encourage positive self-fulfilling prophecy. Ignoring new employees who will clearly fail to perform well does not contribute to a positive work environment or the achievement of organizational goals. Therefore, options A and D are not the correct choices. Option E, which includes choices B and C, is the best answer.
