• 5)Is it possible to have high person-job fit and low person-organization fit? What would that mean?

• 6)Write a short summary of an example of the fundamental attribution error from your own experience. (If you put this question in the back of your head for a day or two, you will probably notice yourself or someone else doing this at some point.)

• 7)Were you surprised at the position of pay in the table showing the contributors to job satisfaction? Why?

• 8)What is turnover and why does it matter?

• Why would high performers be more likely to leave when they are dissatisfied than low performers? Why is this pattern helpful to know?
