Answer to Problem 1DQ

Solution:

The manager's job is affected by the changing attitudes of the individuals.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

It is given that according to surveys it is found that there are changes in the social attitudes of the individuals. Some of the examples include marriages of same-sex and providing citizen for immigrants (illegal).

It is determined that the attitudes of the individuals are changing from time to time. People do not view same-sex marriage as illegal these days. The gays are allowed to marry legally. The views towards illegal immigrants are changing in the society. This obviously affects the jobs of individuals.

Hence, it is required by the managers to learn to deal with different types of people on the job. Every other day, the manager has to deal with people without offending the employees. However, he can be strict towards getting the job finished on time.
