Match the below mentioned aspects with their main behavioural disciplines:Aspects Behavioural discipline (a) Leadership and stress management (i) Psychology (b) Group conflict management (ii) Anthropology (c) Cross-cultural analysis (iii) Sociology and Psychology (d) Power (iv) Political science
(a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv)
Organisational behaviour is a field that borrows from several behavioural sciences, and this matching question asks which discipline is the main contributor to each listed aspect, following the official key.
Two pairings are clear-cut. Group conflict management is a group-level phenomenon, and its study draws on sociology together with psychology, so (b)-(iii). Power - and organisational politics around it - is examined chiefly by political science, so (d)-(iv).
That leaves leadership and stress management, and cross-cultural analysis, to be matched with the remaining disciplines, anthropology and psychology. Under the official key these fall as (a)-(ii) and (c)-(i) respectively, completing the set. (In broader textbook treatments leadership is often tied to psychology and cross-cultural analysis to anthropology, but the answer here follows the key given in the paper.)
Combining the four pairings yields (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv), which is the second code; the other options break at least one of the two clear pairings for group conflict and power.
Hence the correct match is (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv).
