Which of the following is not a characteristic of Job-centric supervisor in the scheme of Rensis Likert ?
Answer: D
The statement that is not a characteristic of the job-centred supervisor is that he helps subordinates when mistakes occur.
In Rensis Likert's scheme the job-centred supervisor concentrates on production. He exerts heavy pressure on workers for output, allows them little freedom, and shows little confidence in them. Helping subordinates when they make mistakes belongs to the employee-centred supervisor.
Showing confidence in subordinates is also an employee-centred trait, so the question is loosely framed, but the official key marks the option about helping with mistakes, and that is the keyed choice. Heavy pressure and little freedom are plainly job-centred traits and so cannot be the answer.
