Which of the following best illustrates a recursive relationship? a. Job satisfaction increases job performance and thus compensation earned on the job, which in turn increases job satisfaction. b. Advertising leads to sales growth and thus greater market power, which in turn results in higher consumer satisfaction. c. Job satisfaction increases job performance, which in turn increases leadership opportunities within a company. d. Advertising leads to sales growth, which leads to greater market power. e. Job satisfaction decreases job performance, which in turn decreases leadership opportunities within a company.

The correct answer is C) Job satisfaction increases job performance, which in turn increases leadership opportunities within a company.

The statement that best illustrates a recursive relationship is "Job satisfaction increases job performance, which in turn increases leadership opportunities within a company."

A recursive relationship is a relationship between two similar entities. This means that the same entity is included more than once in a relationship. For instance, in an organization, an employee can be named supervisor of other employees. So if some likes what he/she is doing in his / her job, it makes him/her perform better. A better performance augments the chances of growing and better wages.
