Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Managers who follow a rational perspective seek to clearly define a worker's performance and the criteria to evaluate that performance, making choice B the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect because they should value the employee's performance relative to the organization's goals, not just the manager's goals. Choice C is incorrect because it goes against the idea of defining performance criteria before evaluating workers. Choice D is incorrect because ambiguous criteria would not be considered rational.
