E) his manager not having faith in his abilities

Respuesta :

Answer:

E) his manager not having faith in his abilities

Explanation:

Self-directed means autonomous or self-sufficient. As a consequence, because Joe is self-confident about how to do his job and does not need step-by-step instructions, it is obvious that he will feel offended if his supervisor gives him detailed intructions. Thus, he will think that his supervisor considers that he cannot rely on him and that he does know how to do his job.
