Question

A _____ relationship exists between an employee and a supervisor

a) vertical
b) family
c) horizontal
d) past

Answer 1

A (a) vertical relationship exists between an employee and a supervisor.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Vertical

Vertical relationships are those where one person has greater power over the other person than the other has on the first person. It's between a boss and an employee or between parents and a child. Horizontal is when the two people are equals such as siblings in a family or coworkers in the same sector or similar.
