these objectives with her supervisor. Joanne apologizes and says she had more latitude
with the budget where she previously worked. This is an example of:
a. role complexity.
b. role ambiguity.
c. role conflict.
d. time-dependent roles
Rat:

performance can occur.

chemically dependent employee in the most general terms.

staff member.

addiction program, and the manager has her transferred to a drug-free area. What other
strategies might be appropriate?

with her.

because this is a work-related situation.

employees with special needs. Humanistic strategies that counsel and assist employees
are cost-effective and necessary.
