How to reply to this in 100 words?
For this week's discussion, we have been asked to review and discuss the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This is an extension of the Jungian personality theory, which identifies personality traits that help identify performance measures that make it easier to promote and use employees in a way that will ensure their success (McShane & Von Glinow, 2022). However, there are particular areas in business where this can be used, as it is not a bulletproof evaluation tool, and, per the text, it could be a better tool for performance evaluation and pre-employment. (Coe, 1992). So, how does this apply to the question of the week, and how can we use it in daily business to increase the success of the employee and the business overall?

Organizational commitment is one of the most prominent things that drive successful organizations; more definitively, affective organizational commitment is the attitude or overall job satisfaction of an organization's employees (McShane & Von Glinow, 2022). As a manager, this is the type of organization we all want, as they are generally happy and want to come to work, unlike the employee found in a continuance commitment employee (McShane & Von Glinow, 2022). Although there are many power sources, the ones that lead to the assurance of affective power for this post, we will use referent power as an example.
