Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: C) Characteristics of the target we observe can affect what we perceive. Because we don't look at targets in isolation, the relationship of a target to its background influences our perception of the target.

Job involvement is the degree to which an employee's sense of fulfillment and self-worth is related to their job. Psychological empowerment is the degree to which an employee believes their work impacts their organization.
