Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Guillermo believed that his organization would be supportive through his time of stress. This major job attitude is called perceived organizational support. The belief and sense that a person has an effect in the work environment is psychological empowerment. Organizational commitment, the degree to which a person identifies with the organization, and job involvement, the degree to which a person identifies with the job and participates in it, are both considered major job attitudes, as is employee engagement, a person's involvement with the job, but these were not what calmed Guillermo's fears.
