Question

Read the following scenario, and then answer the question below.

Kim is assigned to write an important company report with Philip and Tara, her coworkers. Because Kim prefers to work alone, she decides to do the report herself without telling her boss or her assigned coworkers.

Which inappropriate work behavior is Kim exhibiting?
A. gossiping and harassing coworkers
B. shifting blame in a negative situation
C. passing off assigned work to coworkers
D. refusing to collaborate on team projects

Answer 1

D. refusing to collaborate on team projects

Answer 2

Kim is refusing to collaborate on team projects.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Kim decides to do the work on her own, without telling her coworkers and her boss, she is refusing to collaborate on team projects. This is inappropriate because she was specifically told she should write the report with two other coworkers and is not for her to decide wether to do it on her own or not. Nowadays being able to work on team projects is a key skill organizations seek on workers, specially in potential leaders. In this case, Kim will probably receive some kind of bad review from her boss.
