Answer:

(D) In organizations where employees expect clear directions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Authoritarianism is coined from the word "authority". Authoritarianism is a system of ruling whereby the leader (Authoritative person or Dictator) gives all orders and doesn't expect to be questioned or argued with.

In organizations where employees expect clear directions, people who are high on authoritarianism will not do well, since they could switch orders indefinitely and expect no one to argue with them.

An authoritative boss could say that members of a department should submit their files to his desk by 3pm and then change his mind an hour to the deadline and send a new instruction that those employees should gather for a meeting (without their files) by 3pm.

Such confusion will impede the smooth running of day-to-day activities in that organization; especially as no one challenges the leader.
