Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D) strictness .

Explanation:

A rigorous boss demands more than what employees can give, he is a perfectionist, he criticizes in a destructive way. This behavior is very clearly explained by Douglas McGregor in his theory X, where he mentions that this type of managers consider people simply as a means of production and that they are only moved by the salary they earn, that they do not enjoy their work and that they are for lazy nature.
