The scale of operations effect refers to the idea that the size of the organization affects the structure and distribution of work and rewards within the organization. Choices A, B, D, and E are all implications of this effect, as they all relate to the hierarchy and distribution of workers within the organization. However, choice C, which refers to a skewed distribution of earnings to the left, is not necessarily an implication of the scale of operations effect. The distribution of earnings could be skewed in various ways depending on factors such as the organization's performance or the skills and abilities of its workers.
