This activity is important because higher continuance commitment makes it more likely that employees will stay at their organization. Managers can build continuance commitment with embeddedness by increasing employees’ links with their organization and community, their sense of fit with the organization and community, and what they would sacrifice if they made a job change. The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding by matching methods for increasing embeddedness with the type of embeddedness. Read each employee quote and then match it to the type of embeddedness it describes.

There are three factors that can affect the shape of the treasury yield curve (r* t , ip t , and mrp t ) and five factors that can affect the shape of the corporate yield curve (r* t , ip t , mrp t , drp t , and lp t ). the yield curve reflects the aggregation of the impacts from these factors. suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the us treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply. a. downward-sloping yield curveb. upward-sloping yield curvec. inverted yield curve
