Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Competing objectives occur when goals and reward systems are poorly set or poorly designed, leading to conflicts between individuals and groups who work to each other's disadvantage. Task interdependencies refer to how tasks are related to one another and how they affect each other, while role ambiguities refer to the confusion that arises from unclear roles and responsibilities. Structural differentiations refer to the division of labor and the formation of distinct units within an organization. Resource scarcities refer to situations where there are insufficient resources to satisfy the demands of an organization or its members. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate answer.
