Bobby is a promising new employee. He picks up job skills effortlessly and puts in a lot of effort to increase his productivity and efficiency. According to functionalists, Bobby is most likely to perform better when he is .

D) supervised by a manager who encourages him and trains him to perform better

Explanation:

By the theories of functionalism, the core of society is a stable mechanism that helps to keep social stability. All socialization are processes that help us accept and value these norms, keeping the system and the order in balance.

In the case presented in the question, we can see that Bobby is the new employee who needs to be introduced to the system of the workplace. He is already accepting the system and managing to keep its stability. That is why the positive endorsement and the good socialization can keep his performance even better, which helps the mechanism of the society he is working in.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )

an aneroid barometer is different from a mercury barometer in that it provides readings that increase as air pressure increases.
