Which of the following illuminates an assumption underlying the statements above?

A) Workers with responsibilities are more motivated than those without.
B) Few employees are inclined to participate in any phase of a project without being granted express rights and responsibilities.
C) Managers using less interactive leadership methods are not as effective as those who do use such methods.
D) Having responsibility for a segment of an enterprise helps employees grasp where they fit within an organizational structure.
E) Corporate managers should involve subordinates in all levels of decision making.
