Suggested Answer: A, B, D, E

Capacity loading determines how much work each employee can handle. Key factors include experience, efficiency, time availability, and effectiveness. Salary is not relevant to determining workload capacity---though managers might mistakenly believe higher-paid employees should take on more. (See p.181)

I feel like staff member's efficiency and effectiveness are both important, but I can't recall how to differentiate between them in this scenario.

I'm not entirely sure about including salary in this context. Does it really affect capacity loading?

I think time availability is crucial too. If someone is already overloaded, they can't take on more work, right?
