Question

Steve Werner is unhappy with his job and takes every possible vacation and sick day to avoid going to work. In addition, whenever he goes to work, he shows up late and skips important meetings. Werner is expressing his dissatisfaction through the ________ response.

Answer 1

Neglect

Step-by-step explanation:

The Exit, Voice, Loyalty, Neglect model (EVLN) models interactions involving negative actions in an environment.

• Exit refers to leaving the organization because of insatisfaction or at least transferring to another work unit.
• Voice refers to the attempt to change (rather than abandoned) the dissatisfactory situation.
• Loyalty refers to passively waiting for the situation to improve without doing anything in an active manner. It's a passive response hoping that conditions get better.
• Neglect refers to reducing work efforts and includes absenteeism and lateness. This is a passive response that allows conditions to worsen.

In the example, Steve is unhappy with his job and takes every possible vacation and calls in sick and avoids going to work, when he does go to work he shows up late. He is showing conducts of absenteeism and lateness that correspond to the Neglect response.
