Scenario C

Question 145

Multiple Choice

Scenario C. Suppose you are a middle manager in a biotechnology research firm. The organization has undergone a dramatic transformation over the last few years. Historically, employees had been managed using a wide array of rules, regulations and procedures. Offending employees were punished "after the fact" for their violations. Today, employees are encouraged to make decisions and come up with innovative solutions to problems they discover. Most employees are much more satisfied under the new scenario; they like using their brains. However, you have one employee who is constantly disgruntled and challenges "the new way" at every chance. For example, this employee believes that you should not be his manager because you can't technically perform every job title that you manage. Other than this employee, the group is much more cohesive and is committed not only to the overall success of the organization but to its standards and reputation.
-Which of the following statements is true regarding the employee described in the above scenario?


A) The employee is a good example of empowerment.
B) The employee is unable to appreciate the changing nature of management.
C) The employee is a perfect match for clan control.
D) The employee is a perfect match for market control.
E) The employee prefers a market control system.
