Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The manager is commenting on Peter's job performance as a cashier, specifically his punctuality, break timing, and appearance. This relates to Peter's ability to fulfill his role as a cashier, which falls under the concept of role performance in sociology. Role strain refers to the tension or difficulty in fulfilling one specific role, which is not the case here as the manager is addressing multiple aspects of Peter's job performance. Social status refers to one's position in society, which is not explicitly relevant to this situation. Role conflict refers to conflicts between different roles or expectations, which is not the main issue here.
