Jim is the daytime supervisor for an automobile assembly line. he supervises 45 people who perform relatively routine jobs that require minimal training. the shop is unionized, so jim has little latitude when it comes to dismissing poor performers. however, he does have the authority to transfer employees and has been known to reassign poor performers to less desirable jobs on the assembly line. jim has a reputation for only transferring employees with just cause, and generally is viewed as a fair supervisor by his employees. although he would like greater autonomy to determine salaries, jim generally divides bonuses and raises equally among his employees. to do otherwise would likely create conflict with union members and representatives. according to fiedler's model, how would jim's leader-member relations be described?

Voters commonly condemn politicians for being insincere, but politicians often must disguise their true feelings when they make public statements. if they expressed their honest views—about, say, their party's policies—then achieving politically necessary compromises would be much more difficult. clearly, the very insincerity that people decry shows that our government is functioning well. which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines this reasoning? (a) achieving political compromises is not all that is necessary for the proper functioning of a government. (b) some political compromises are not in the best long-term interest of the government. (c) voters often judge politicians by criteria other than the sincerity with which they express their views. (d) a political party's policies could turn out to be detrimental to the functioning of a government. (e) some of the public statements made by politicians about their party's policies could in fact be sincere.
