Explanation:

Question 7

To determine the false statement about stress, we analyze each option:

• Stress can be contagious (e.g., emotional contagion in workplaces).
• Not all stress is bad; eustress (positive stress) exists (e.g., stress from a challenging but rewarding task).
• Bosses can be a major stress source due to work demands, expectations, etc.
• Personal debt is increasingly a stressor as financial pressures rise.
• Baby Boomers may feel less stress than younger generations due to life stage and experience.

So "All stress is bad" is false.

Internal forces for change originate within the organization.

• "Change of CEO" is internal (leadership change within the org).
• "High absenteeism" is an internal issue (related to employees within the org).
• "Excessive conflict between managers and the board" is internal (within organizational hierarchy).
• "Employee dissatisfaction" is internal (related to employees in the org).
• "Negative feedback from customers" is external (from outside the organization, customers are external stakeholders). So it's not an internal force.

Answer:

B. All stress is bad.
