Question

a manager tells michael how to complete tasks and monitors him regularly, but also lets jim complete tasks freely. what control approach is this an example of? flexible control close control limited control direct control

Explanation:

Flexible control involves adapting the level of control based on the situation or the employee. Here, the manager uses different control levels for Michael (more guidance and monitoring) and Jim (more freedom), which aligns with the concept of flexible control. Close control would mean strict and constant monitoring for all. Limited control implies restricted control for all. Direct control is about immediate and hands - on control for all.

Answer:

Flexible control
