Question

Dominic Ferraro · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Employees who receive mentoring from their immediate supervisors are more likely to engage in individually-focused organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB-Is) because this direct mentorship often leads to a stronger sense of loyalty and commitment to their supervisor and, by extension, to the organization. This relationship fosters an environment where employees are more inclined to go above and beyond their basic job requirements to support individual colleagues and contribute to the organization's overall success.
