Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: A) Incorrect. If subordinates feel the boss is on their side, but that he is ineffective, their morale will decrease. In order to feel higher morale, the boss should have considerable clout. Powerful managers not only can accomplish more personally, but can pass on more information and make more resources available to subordinates.
B) Incorrect. Downward influence refers to the manager's influence on subordinates and says nothing about a boss's upward influence. Without upward influence, managers will tend to be bossy, ineffective, and dictatorial. In order to feel higher morale, the boss should have considerable clout. Powerful managers not only can accomplish more personally, but can pass on more information and make more resources available to subordinates.
C) Correct. In order to feel higher morale, the boss should have considerable clout. Powerful managers not only can accomplish more personally, but can pass on more information and make more resources available to subordinates.
D) Incorrect. Subordinates should feel that their manager provides services and influence that are outside their own expertise or ability. In order to feel higher morale, the boss should have considerable clout. Powerful managers not only can accomplish more personally, but can pass on more information and make more resources available to subordinates.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Correct. Cultures with high levels of ascription tend to favor positional power.
B) Incorrect. Individualistic cultures tend to favor personal power.
C) Incorrect. Cultures that value achievement tend to favor personal power.
D) Incorrect. Isolationism is not a concept that is addressed in this chapter.
