Cale Douglas · Answer 1

Letter c is correct. Scalar principle

Explanation:

Scalar principles follow the classic management model, where each employee must communicate with executives following the chain of command, respect hierarchy and communicate through an intermediary or immediate. This management rule model can have the disadvantages of less flexibility and more rigid communication, which makes interaction between employees and conflict resolution and motivation to develop individual skills and competences more difficult.
