Question

Although Chad, an accountant at a supply chain management company, worked overtime this week, he readily agreed to his supervisor's request to work for five more hours during the weekend.

A) achievement
B) affiliation
C) power
D) relatedness

Answer 1

Affiliation

Step-by-step explanation:

Chad is motivated by the need for affiliation. A need of affiliation is good to a certain extent, but it can affect personal and professional lives. Individuals with high need of affiliation will in general be more adjusting and co-operative. People with affiliation demand are usually forced to do certain tasks that can make their lives challenging.
