Johnson has been given total responsibility for filling the position, which means he is accountable for the hiring decision and its outcomes. Task leniency refers to the degree of discretion allowed in performing a task, which is not relevant in this scenario. Hierarchical authority refers to the level of power and control over others within an organization, which is not relevant in this scenario either. Job security refers to the stability and assurance of a job, which is not relevant to the task at hand.
