Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The supervisor is using assertiveness as a form of influence by actively and frequently checking on employees' work and reminding them of their deadlines, which directly asserts their expectations and authority without necessarily relying on personal charm (referent), legal or positional power (legitimate), or attempting to change minds through dialogue (persuasion). Silent authority is not applicable as the supervisor's actions are overt and direct.
