Question

Mori is rather quiet at her workplace. Her only friend at work is Natalie. Natalie has quit the company a month ago. The _______ model suggests that Mori is more likely to disengage and wants to quit work because Natalie is no longer working there.

Answer 1

Answer:

The social influence model suggests that Mori is more likely to disengage and wants to quit work because Natalie is no longer working there.

Explanation:

The social influence model refers to the way people are likely to change their behaviors and opinions in an attempt to comply with the demands of a social environment. This may happen in many ways, such as persuasion, leadership, obedience, peer pressure etc. There are people who will pretend to have agreed with someone, but will maintain their original opinions. There are those who will be influenced by someone they admire. And there are people who will completely change their opinion, and express that change publicly.

The social influence model suggests that employees who have direct linkages with "leavers" will themselves become more likely to leave. That is why Mori is more likely to disengage and quit. Natalie being her only friend at work also makes it more difficult for her to stay without her.
