Question

Maria’s boss doesn’t care whether Maria works at home, at the office, or from her beach house. All he cares about is that the project is completed on time, on budget, and with exemplary quality. Which characteristic of organizational culture best describes this aspect of Maria’s job?

low risk taking
high outcome orientation
high attention to detail
low aggressiveness
high stability

Answer 1

Option B.

High outcome orientation

Step-by-step explanation:

In business, outcome orientation refers to the extent to which business units emphasize action and results in their organizations. It includes also the extent to which they have high expectations for performance, and are competitive.

It means that means of result achievement are downplayed , rather, the achievement of the result itself is used to measure performance.

Maria's boss has a high outcome orientation because he doesn't care the means through which the objectives are achieved. He is only concerned about their achievement according to the organization's specifications.
