	a.	A positive attitude toward the company, and a personal relationship to it
	b.	Serving the company’s best interests
	c.	Always placing the company’s interests above one’s personal interests
	d.	Both (a) and (b)
	e.	All of (a), (b), and (c)

Answer 1

• Option e is the answer.  
• All of (a), and (b) are true for the given context.
• According to the theory Soles calls the "common sense " account, loyalty to an employer would involve a positive attitude toward the company, and a personal relationship to it, serving the company's best interests. A best example for explaining this account is a sports team - they show loyalty to the employer, view something as their own thing and work for the progress of the company in every possible ways. Always placing company's interests above one's personal interests is not coming under "common sense"; it can be categorised under the concept of "idealist account ". But business does not require such kind of loyalty.
