Question

posttest
what is one likely advantage of being perceived as a trustworthy person at work?
a) your boss will give you the hardest assignments.
b) you will have more influence on company-wide policies.
c) your co-workers will realize that they can depend on you.
d) you will be able to bend the company rules when necessary.

Explanation:

Being perceived as trustworthy in a workplace builds reliability among peers. Co-workers are more likely to recognize they can rely on someone they trust, which is a core interpersonal advantage of trustworthiness. Other options do not align: harder assignments are not a positive advantage, trustworthiness does not grant policy influence, and bending rules is not a legitimate or likely outcome of being trustworthy.

Answer:

C) Your co-workers will realize that they can depend on you.
