Sociologist: Suggestions for improved efficiency that derive from employers are unlikely to elicit positive responses from employees, who tend to resent suggestions they did not generate. An employer should ttherefore engage the employee in a nonthreatening dialogue that emphasizes the positive contributions of the employee to the development of such ideas. Then the ideas employers want to try will be implemented more quickly and effectively. Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the sociologist's reasoning? ['Employees are more likely to carry out ideas for improved efficiency that they believe they have participated in generating.', 'Employees are more likely to implement ideas for improved efficiency that derive from a dialogue in which they have participated than from a dialogue in which they have not participated.', 'Employees are more likely to accept suggestions for improved efficiency when these suggestions are not obviously directed at them.', "Employees are more likely to resent employers who attempt to implement the employers' rather than the employees' ideas for improved efficiency."]
