Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking about Eric's personal reaction to the new job assignment, specifically how he perceives it as an increase in obligation or expectation to perform at a higher level. This aligns with the definition of responsibility, which refers to the duties and tasks that an individual is expected to complete as part of their job. The other options - functional structure, divisional structure, and authority - refer to organizational structures and systems rather than individual perceptions of job assignments.
