B

Explanation:

Perceived organizational support (POS) is the extent or the degree to which employees believe that their organization values their contributions and cares for their wellbeing, It takes it root from organizational support theory (Blau) which beliefs that both parties in the employment relationship engage in various mutual exchanges that give rise to some form of obligations to themselves. Such exchanges may take the form of rewards or other forms of recognition offered by the organization in return for high levels of employee commitment or performance. These exchanges give birth to performance-reward expectations, which when fulfilled in future exchanges improve the quality of the employment relationship. The different forms of support include participation in decision making, training and promotion opportunities, and job security.
