Who may be reluctant to share top performers in a matrix organization?

  1. Project managers

  2. Functional managers

  3. Team members

  4. External stakeholders

The correct answer is: Functional managers

Functional managers may be reluctant to share top performers in a matrix organization because these top performers may be crucial to their functional areas' success, and losing them to project teams could impact their department's performance. Functional managers may fear losing control over their key resources or expertise, which can lead to resistance in sharing these top performers with project managers in a matrix organization. Project managers, team members, and external stakeholders do not usually have the same level of attachment or resistance to sharing top performers as functional managers do in this setup.
