Question

Lucia, who was raised in Guatemala, moved to the United Sates as a teenager. When she lands her first job at an insurance company after college, she often works overtime and takes on extra projects without being asked because she knows that this will help her company meet its goals. Given that Lucia is from Guatemala, a collectivist country, why might she be working so hard?

a) She wants to be promoted quickly.
b) She feels loyalty to her company.
c) She cannot finish her work during regular business hours.
d) She needs to earn some extra money.

Answer 1

b) she feels loyalty to her company

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucia might want a promotion or even need some extra money like any other dedicated worker, but that is not her major concern. Since she was raised in a collectivist country, she learned other values that come before those of an exclusive personal interest, and therefore, her dedication is a demonstration of her loyalty to the company.
