Answer 1

The correct answer is: Pereiver: Sarah arrives on time so people think she is doing her job better than Holly.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this organizational setting, the influence of perception that may be at work in this situation is: The fact that Sarah arrives at 8 am, which is the time when other employees arrive at work may influence how the rest of the employees, including Mr. Johnson, see Holly. They may perceive Sarah as being more reliable, dependable and organized mainly because she doesn't arrive an hour later.

In conclusion, in this particular case, the influence of perception that may be at work in this situation is that Sarah arrives on time so people think she is doing her job better than Holly.
