Question

Eun Sun is a young and enthusiastic intern in a law firm and puts a lot of effort into her work. Her boss, however, never appreciates her work; he rather increases her workload every time she submits something for his approval. Though she is quite content with the nature of the work and the pay, Eun Sun is personally discontent with the work culture. On the basis of these factors, which of the following is most likely true of Eun Sun?

-Eun Sun lacks intrinsic motivation.
-Eun Sun lacks perceived organizational support.
-Eun Sun lacks extrinsic motivation.
-Eun Sun lacks both intrinsic and organizational support.

Answer 1

It's option B. Eun Sun lacks perceived organizational support.

The reason I chose this option is that perceived organizational support means that an individual working for the company is receiving good remarks or support for their hard work done. This is exactly what Eun Sun is in need of but unfortunately, her boss, fails to understand this and instead keeps giving her a hard time. Now, only if he were to say things like, "thank you for your hard work," or " you did great", Eun Sun would probably want to work even harder and better. Supportive words and encouragement can take you far.
