QUESTION

Which statement explains the empirical-rational approach to planned change?

1. Using knowledge as the power ingredient and self-interest
2. Using command and control
3. Using sociocultural norms as the motivator
4. Using personalized 1:1 education

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 1

The empirical-rational approach is based on two beliefs; that people are rational, and that they will change if it is in their self-interest. Command and control are characteristics of the power-coercive approach to change. Using sociocultural norms as the motivator is the normative-reeducative approach to change. Using personalized 1:1 education is not a characteristic of the empirical-rational approach to change.
