Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario describes a traditional work group where Harry has a supervisor who assigns him tasks and determines his work hours. The fact that Harry's supervisor has the power to fire him also supports this answer. Self-designing and self-managing teams give employees more autonomy and decision-making power over their work, while an employee involvement group typically focuses on improving organizational processes and decision-making through collaboration rather than supervising individual employees.
