The Warden of a State Prison Has Been Receiving Complaints

Multiple Choice

The warden of a state prison has been receiving complaints from female correctional officers. Their complaints are not against the inmates but rather are against some of their male colleagues. The complaints allege that the male officers have engaged in continuing sexual harassment, including posting pornographic images in the locker room, using degrading language about them in front of the inmates, and using their hands more than necessary during training exercises. It is possible that this situation developed out of the sight of top administrators at the prison because they are more involved with external matters, such as dealing with the legislature, media, courts, and community. In the text, this is referred to as having _____________.

A) an external focus
B) conflicting priorities
C) multiple stakeholders
D) an outward orientation
