Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A high quality LMX relationship means that the leader has a closer and more positive relationship with certain followers (the in-group). This can result in benefits such as the leader having more control over outcomes that are desirable to those in the in-group, and in-group members being more loyal to the leader. Therefore, both option A and B are true benefits of a high quality LMX relationship. Options C and D are not benefits, as in-group members are not expected to work less hard and the leader should not pay less attention to them as they are still important contributors to the team's success.
