Estelle Took a New Position as Team Leader of a Software

Estelle took a new position as team leader of a software development team and is finding the position far more frustrating than she had expected. The six members of her team are all highly qualified and produce good work, but one of the team members behaves negatively every time a new problem or challenge arises. This programmer, Jake, defines every problem as someone else's fault. He avoids volunteering for any new assignment, saying he has a hard enough time meeting deadlines as it is. The rest of the team is visibly annoyed with Jake. Which of the following personality traits might be influencing Jake's behaviour?

A) Machiavellianism and low self-esteem
B) External locus of control and low self-efficacy
C) Internal locus of control and high self-efficacy
D) Internal locus of control and low emotional intelligence
E) High self-efficacy and high authoritarianism
