Question

In her work in the publishing industry, Vera Loranzo seeks out new authors who she considers promising. In the past two years, she has found a number of new writers whose work she thought was exceptional and immersed herself in the task of helping them shape their manuscripts for submission to her managers for publishing. Although she was extremely proud of the results, none of the authors she worked with were chosen for publication. After learning about her management's decision, she is extremely frustrated and is beginning to resent the job she does. However, she knows there is nothing she can do and continues working because of the good perks and salary benefits the job offers. How can Loranzo's job attitude be best described?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) low job satisfaction and high job involvement    

Explanation:

Vera is currently having negative feelings about her job, since she is experiencing low job satisfaction. She really believes that she made a good job in choosing potential authors and helping them improve their work, which means that she shows a high job involvement. The problem is that management doesn't seem to notice it, and keeps rejecting the authors she submits to them.

If that situation continues, she might keep working for the firm (for the good perks and salary benefits) but her performance and job involvement will eventually suffer. If she starts to believe that no matter how good or bad she works, management will never consider her authors, then she might stop caring about doing a good job.
