b). It occurs when leaders and followers are given incompatible goals to accomplish. c). It concerns followers' perceptions of whether the level of reward or punishment is commensurate with an individual's performance or infraction.

Answer 1

In the context of job satisfaction, the given statement "It occurs when leaders and followers are given incompatible goals to accomplish" is true about role conflict.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Induce tensions to the people as role conflicts and uncertainties that negatively affect people's job satisfaction. The role conflict is about two (or more) questions or role requests appearing simultaneously, so implementing one makes it difficult to implement the other.

The role ambiguity would result from a lack of information on job evaluation, development opportunities, responsibilities and expectations of managers about the role of the person at a hierarchical position. One consequence of negative role conflicts and uncertainty is a decrease in job satisfaction.
