Nancy John, a bright, female investment analyst about to give a major presentation to a group of bankers supporting a corporate acquisition. After walking in and meeting the bankers before you give the presentation, you're asked by your boss to "be a dear and serve them coffee." Imagine the insult and awkwardness of such a situation-what do you do? Do you carry through with the task, sacrificing your dignity or doing something wrong because you can't afford to lose the job? Or do you speak up? A group of Swiss occupational health researchers have recently started a program of research on illegitimate tasks, or tasks that violate "norms about what can reasonably be expected from a given person" in a job.
Question: 1. What do you think of this situation?
2. What might cause supervisors and managers within organizations to allocate these kinds of tasks?
3. Can you explain it based on 'positive reinforcement' behavior and suggest some suggestion?

Before leaving the office of his angered superior, the young man suggests that a well-‐trained monkey could handle the trivia assigned to him.
