You are on a team with two individuals who are “difficult.” The work has been divided among the three of you, and each
time your team meets, Janet and Jim disagree about the progress of the team project. Janet is convinced that Jim’s lack of progress is because he is inherently lazy and not because of some overwhelming problem with the project itself. The truth seems to be that Janet is not doing her part of the work.
What might you use to try to understand Janet and Jim’s behavior?

A) perception theory
B) attribution theory
C) decision-making theory
D) satisficing theory
E) Surber’s theory
