Car Company (Research 2023)

Michael is the regional manager for a car company and needs to give a presentation to the president of the company about how different management styles might relate to the total number of sales of the company’s new electric car. He hires an industrial/organizational psychologist to study three stores, each in a different city.

Each store’s manager has their own distinct management style: • In Store A, the manager has a supportive style (open and warm). • In Store B, the manager has a strict style (rigid and severe). • In Store C, the manager, who is Michael’s good friend, has a distant style (permissive and disengaged).

The number of electric cars sold at each store over a five-month period is shown in the table.
