Answer to Question 2
Answer: A
Explanation: A) Correct. Every organization has a set of values that has developed during its life cycle. When an action or behavior is consistent with these values, it is deemed credible by other organizational members. This credibility gives rise to acceptance of the individual and, in turn, personal influence.
B) Incorrect. Though policies, procedures, and rules can sometimes reflect organizational values, legitimacy is not directly linked to policies and procedures.

This credibility gives rise to acceptance of the individual and, in turn, personal influence.

This credibility gives rise to acceptance of the individual and, in turn, personal influence.
