Answer:

c.She has distributed power in the organization by delegation.

Explanation:

Delegation is the act of transferring responsibilities by a person with authority to another person. It is the action of a person with authority assigning another person their duties temporarily. Delegation in an organization is only one way, from a senior officer to their junior. It can happen at any level in the management hierarchy.  

Delegating duties will involve the transfer of limited powers. In the case of Sandy, she has delegated her duties to other staff members. She has given them powers to respond to questions on her behalf. Even though Sandy will not be performing her duties, she is still responsible for what happens while she is away.

The delegating authority must ensure they delegate only to people with the ability to perform the assigned tasks. They must also supervise the work they have handed over.

Version 1: George walks away. He never talks to Elaine or Jerry again.

Version 3: George yells at Elaine to shut u.p and then confronts his boss demanding to know why he’s going to be fired.

Version 4: George demands that Elaine tell him where she heard that. Elaine tells him not to worry about it and tries to crack a joke about how much the boss is late.

  • <u>Version 3: confrontational</u>

2. In this scenario, however, we notice a cooperative deposition between George and Elaine. He made this lear when he said, "...If you have a problem, please see me about it.”

3. Confrontation occurs in this scenario as we are told that "George... then confronts his boss demanding to know why he’s going to be fired. "

4.  By demanding "that Elaine tells him where she heard that" indicates confrontation. While Elaine's cracking a joke about how much the boss is late shows cooperation.
