Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rules and norms establish clear expectations for job responsibilities and provide consequences for neglecting assigned tasks, which encourages subordinates to fulfill their duties. Technical competence refers to the knowledge and skills necessary to perform a job well, Parkinson's Law pertains to the tendency for work to expand to fill the time available for its completion, and rational-legal authority pertains to power and authority based on rules and laws rather than personal qualities or relationships. None of these directly address the issue of preventing neglect of job tasks by subordinates.
