Question

Lillian Stintson works for a global women's rights organization. In the past few months, she has traveled across the globe for the campaign she was working on. In addition, she has been working weekends to meet campaign milestones. She has now decided to take a month's holiday to relax herself and get the much needed break. She knows that the organization will understand her need for a long holiday. Which of the following best represents Stintson's feeling? A) low job involvement B) low organizational commitment C) low employee engagement D) high perceived organizational support E) high interest in whistle-blowing

Answer 1

Lillian Stintson's feeling is best represented by high perceived organizational support, as she believes the organization will understand her need for a long holiday.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best option that represents Lillian Stintson's feelings is D) high perceived organizational support. This perception is characterized by an individual's belief that their organization values their contributions and cares about their well-being. In this case, Lillian is confident that her organization will understand her need for a long holiday after the effort she has put in. This demonstrates her positive perception of how supportive her organization is, rather than showing low job involvement, low organizational commitment, low employee engagement, or an interest in whistle-blowing.

Answer 2

The correct answer is (d) high perceived organizational support.

Step-by-step explanation:

High perceived organizational support can be defined as an employees' perception of the degree to which the organization or firm they work for values their input and cares for their overall well being.

Stinson has displayed a high level of organizational commitment, illustrated by her willingness to work on multiple geographical locations and over the weekend. Additionally, she exhibits characteristics of high job involvement which refers to an employee's ability to identify herself/himself with her/his job and derive satisfaction from her/his job, this can easily be seen through Stinson's enthusiastic and unquestionable work ethics.

Therefore,Stinson's assumes that since she has put in so much effort by working across the globe and over the weekends, the organization would be inclined to acknowledge her need for a rest. She anticipates this decision on the basis that the organizations genuinely care about her welfare. We can also safely conclude that she has little if any interest in whistle-blowing since she believes the organization has her best interest at heart.
