Answer 1

Criterion is the answer.....

Answer 2

• The "rule of thumb" type of bias means that staff members of an organization tend to assume that the most important factor is in the past, rather than the future.
• This gives them the illusion that they know what the future will be, even though they have no idea.
• The best antidote to this is to remind yourself frequently that the future is uncertain and to be prepared for the unexpected.
• Oftentimes, people think of compliance as simply following rules, as opposed to questioning them, and the two forms of compliance are not mutually exclusive.
• However, in situations where rules are being followed to the letter but an individual fails to think about the broader implications of his or her actions, this may constitute more of a form of compliance.
• Conversely, in situations where an individual is asked to perform an act that he or she feels, is immoral, illegal, or unethical, but is not specifically forbidden, this may constitute more of a form of noncompliance.
