The CEO of Xenon Solutions recently cancelled numerous leave requests and asked several employees to put in extra days of work as the company was slated to meet several deadlines in the immediate future. In addition, he also assured that those who work this extra bit will be given their due leaves and additional incentives once the time crisis had passed. Following this announcement, Joan and Shane were overheard speaking in the cafeteria. Shane was resentful that his holiday plans were disrupted, and he was sure that the management would ultimately not provide any of the leaves and incentives it promised. Joan, however, said that she was sure that their CEO had a valid reason behind making such a request and that if they put in the extra effort, they would be rewarded suitably. From the information provided in the scenario, which of the following statements can be inferred?
a) Shane has a high degree of identification-based trust in the CEO.
b) The leader-member relations between Shane and the CEO are the same as that between Joan and the CEO.
c) Shane is one of the members of the CEO's ingroups.
d) Joan has a high degree of trust propensity.
e) Shane has a high degree of empathy.

The CEO of Joan's company asks them not to take any more leaves and to give more time at the office to meet the deadlines and also promised to reward those who put in extra effort in the work.

Shane did have faith in the management of his office but Joan says that he believes the CEO has asked his employees to work extra for some good reason and they will all be rewarded with incentives or gift for their effort.

Thus Joan has a very high degree of trustworthiness to all.

Therefore the answer is ---

d). Joan has a high degree of trust propensity.
