Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is A. Intrasender role conflict

Explanation:

In the world of business, role conflicts can be described as the tensions which arise between the role giver (like boss or manager) and the role receiver (like the worker or employee).

Intra-Sender role conflict is a type of role conflict in which arises when the role giver wants the role receiver to perform a contradictory action and sets a limit to perform that function. The limit might not be appropriate for the completion of that task. For example, in the question, the manager is asking the worker to give back the report in a limit of five minutes. Hence, it is an intra-sender role conflict.
