Dolly Is a Mid-Level Manager

question 94

Multiple Choice

Dolly is a mid-level manager. Her supervisor wants her to take a tough stance with her employees. If Dolly cracks down on disciplinary issues, she will easily qualify for a bonus for adhering to the employee discipline system supported by her supervisor, and she knows he will quickly give her the bonus as an incentive for other supervisors to follow the same steps. Dolly is a bit concerned that the new program is too restrictive of the employees' ability to individualize their work, and even though it will streamline the production process, she feels certain it will ultimately lead to lower output by restricting the creativity and motivation of her workers. Dolly knows which employees are violating procedures and exactly how she could implement the plan to get her bonus. Nonetheless, Dolly is not really motivated to enact the new discipline plan. What factor is causing Dolly to lack motivation?

• A)Dolly is afraid she will not actually receive her bonus after doing all the tough work to earn it.
• B)Dolly knows she does not have the skills necessary to implement the new program.
• C)Dolly feels the negative consequences of the new program outweigh the benefits.
• D)Dolly has no idea what the results of the new program might be.
• E)Dolly is uncertain of what is being asked of her with the new program.
