Explanation:

• First question: Employee orientation is the final step in the hiring process as it integrates new hires into the organization. Deciding permanence/temporary status, determining duties, and job interviews occur earlier in the process.
• Second question: A base - plus - incentive compensation plan combines a fixed wage/salary (base) with a variable amount based on performance (incentive). Piece rate is per - unit pay, commission is a percentage of sales, and time wage is based on hours worked.
• Third question: Promotion is the advancement to a higher - responsibility position. Transfer is a lateral move, discharge is dismissal, and termination ends employment.
• Fourth question: The work environment encompasses both physical (e.g., office layout) and psychological (e.g., team morale) aspects of where employees work. Organizational culture is broader (shared values, norms), corporate climate is more about overall organizational mood, and ergonomic climate focuses on physical comfort in work design.

Answer:

• First question: employee orientation
• Second question: base plus incentive
• Third question: promotion
• Fourth question: work environment
