Rosie assigned a newly hired employee, Arjun, to the accounting department because the department needs to work more quickly and accurately. Rosie assumed that the new employee could provide the needed energy. Unfortunately, the other workers seemed to resent Arjun's presence because of his cultural and ethnic background, as well as his language barrier. They have further excluded him from the work group. This has made Arjun's work more difficult because he is not really given the "inside" information needed to perform his work efficiently. ________, one of the challenges of a diversified workforce, appears to be operating most prominently in this scenario.
A. Lower cohesiveness
B. Groupthink
C. Greater flexibility
D. Decentralized decision making
