Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hardiness is a personality trait that includes three components: commitment (to work and life), control (perception of control over events), and challenge (see change as opportunities rather than threats). Sanjay's ability to handle conflict, rely on others during stress, and report high job satisfaction suggests that he possess these hardy characteristics. Learned helplessness is a more negative trait characterized by a tendency to feel helpless and unable to affect change, while hostility and time urgency do not seem to fit Sanjay's behavior as described.
