Question

1. Although some staff may be put-off by the area of town and the fact that charity care is provided, this is not the most probable reason for the situation.
2. Twenty-five cents is not enough of a difference in wages to explain this situation.
3. People do not like to be bullied. If the hospital has this reputation, it is unlikely to attract new employees, and older employees are likely to leave.
4. Physical facilities are important but are not likely important enough to be the most probable cause of this situation.
