Question

Hilary was put on a new team by her manager. Ever since she shifted teams, Hilary has felt energized and motivated toward higher performance because her friends work in the same team. She and her friends work together to come up with creative ideas and solutions to problems. In the given scenario, Hilary's manager recognized that _____ was most likely to produce a positive change for Hilary. a. social facilitation b. self-management c. gain sharing d. cross-functionality

Answer 1

A. Social facilitation

Step-by-step explanation:

Social facilitation refers to the improvement in an employee's performance when working with friends and people in general over working alone. It involves the improvement in work by the mere presence of others. The improvement of the employee's performance has nothing to do with special training and the likes. It just involves allowing the employee to work with others rather than being alone. It points to the school of thoughts that people are motivated in working together rather than working alone. In this case, Hilary is placed in a team to work with her friend and others which has lead in the improvement of her performance.
