Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals from individualistic cultures tend to prioritize personal goals over group goals and are more likely to engage in social loafing. The other options do not necessarily predict social loafing behavior. Need for cognition relates to one's motivation to engage in cognitive activities, such as problem-solving and critical thinking, but does not predict social loafing behavior. Perceiving the project outcome as personally important would actually decrease the likelihood of social loafing, as the employee would be more invested in the success of the project. Gender is not a reliable predictor of social loafing.
