Management Theories Quiz

The process of planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling to accomplish organizational goals.

A theory that suggests human needs are arranged in a hierarchy, starting with basic needs like food and safety and progressing to higher needs like belonging and self-actualization.

The lowest level of needs in Maslow's hierarchy, which are essential for survival, like food, water and shelter.

The second level of needs in Maslow's hierarchy, which involve feeling safe and secure from harm.

The third level of needs in Maslow's hierarchy, which involve feeling a sense of belonging and connection to others.

The fourth level of needs in Maslow's hierarchy, which involve feeling good about yourself and your accomplishments.

The highest level of needs in Maslow's hierarchy, which involve reaching your full potential and living a meaningful life.

Actively engaging workers in identifying and preventing safety and health risks within the workplace.

The process of allocating resources, such as time, money, and personnel, to support safety and health initiatives.

Assigning tasks and responsibilities to individuals and groups to ensure the implementation of safe practices.

Encouraging workers to be involved in safety and health activities.

Making safety and health a visible priority by being present in the workplace, leading by example, and actively participating in safety programs.

States that for every major accident with injuries, there are 29 minor accidents causing minor injuries and 300 accidents with no injuries.

A methodology in safety analysis that examines the chain of events leading to an incident.

The triggers or stimuli that precede a behavior.

The actual action or behavior observed.

The result or outcome of a behavior.

A safety approach that focuses on observing and improving behavior.

Behavior-Based Safety is an iterative process that involves observation, feedback, and continuous safety improvement.

Reward or consequence as a driver of behavior.

The key focus of BBS is that observable behavior is driven by the reward or consequence associated with it.

Issues that have caused serious problems are likely to have many antecedents, behaviors and consequences related to them.

A systematic method to identify and assess potential hazards and risks associated with a specific job or task. It breaks down the job into smaller steps, identifies hazards for each step, and outlines control measures to mitigate those hazards.

An inductive approach that analyzes past incidents or accidents to identify underlying causes and common factors. It starts from a specific event and works backward to understand the broader contributing factors.

A systematic and proactive method to assess the potential failure modes of a system or component, along with their effects. It involves identifying potential failures, their causes, and consequences, and evaluating the likelihood and severity of each failure mode.

A visual representation of how failures or events in a system can lead to an undesired outcome (top event). It utilizes Boolean logic to show the relationships between different failure modes and their potential combinations.

The assumption that all components in a safety system work correctly and in harmony to achieve the desired safety outcome. This is a theoretical concept that provides a baseline for safety analysis.

One of the limitations of Fault Tree Analysis, it is a deductive process, meaning it starts from the top event (the accident) and works backward to identify potential causes.

In FMEA, emphasis is placed on analyzing potential failures and their underlying conditions, rather than focusing on specific events. The goal is to understand the factors that could lead to failures.

FMEA involves analyzing individual components or equipment to identify potential failure points and their consequences.

Data related to potential failures and their consequences are typically organized and documented in tables and charts in FMEA. This allows for systematic analysis and tracking of potential risks.

The process of examining existing documents to assess the effectiveness of a safety management system. Helps understand whether the tracking of hazards to correction is effective and to determine the quality of certain activities such as self-inspections or routine hazard analysis.

Involve directly speaking with employees to evaluate the effectiveness of health and safety training. Effective training should enable employees to identify hazards, explain protective measures, and describe their roles in the safety program.

A crucial component of safety auditing that involves physically observing the workplace and assessing the presence of existing and potential hazards. These reviews can uncover weaknesses in safety management systems.

The main goal of this audit technique is to determine whether progress is being made towards achieving overall safety goals and objectives. This can be done by reviewing and evaluating the actions taken, whether it be hazard identification, risk assessment, control implementation, or any other step in the safety process.

A systematic process of identifying all potential hazards that could cause harm to individuals. This is the first step in managing risks in the workplace.

Involves evaluating the identified hazards to determine the likelihood and severity of potential harm. This helps prioritize risks and allocate resources appropriately.

Strategies and measures put in place to eliminate or minimize the risks associated with hazards. These can include engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Putting the planned control measures into practice, ensuring they are implemented effectively and consistently. This involves providing training, instructions, and resources to employees.

Regularly monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the implemented controls. This includes ensuring they are being followed correctly, identifying any deficiencies and making necessary adjustments.

The final stage in control management where any failures or inconsistencies in the implementation of control measures are addressed and corrected. This includes reviewing the effectiveness of controls, identifying any issues or deviations, and taking appropriate actions to correct them.
