question 4
in a department meeting, jamira challenges her manager, shavana, to rethink the decision to close two major client accounts. aimed at being constructive, jamira offers her rationale and some alternative strategic direction options. which resistance strategy is jamira engaging in? based on this strategy, how is her manager likely to rate her on a future performance review?
a constructive resistance; she will likely receive positive ratings
b control; she will likely receive negative ratings
c forceful resistance; she will likely receive positive ratings
d dysfunctional resistance; she will likely receive negative ratings

Explanation:

Forceful resistance involves actively challenging decisions. If done constructively (as Jamira aims to be), it can show initiative and critical - thinking. Positive ratings may follow as it indicates engagement and a desire for better outcomes. Constructive resistance (Option A) is more about suggesting improvements in a non - confrontational way. Control (Option B) implies Jamira is just trying to stop the decision without offering alternatives. Dysfunctional resistance (Option D) is negative and unproductive, which Jamira is not as she is aiming for a constructive outcome.

Answer:

C. Forceful resistance; she will likely receive positive ratings
