which of the following best describes higher level hpts?

Higher level HPTs (high‑performance teams / human performance technology roles, depending on your course context) are generally described as having more autonomy, broader responsibility, and less need for direct supervision than lower‑level roles or basic teams.

Key idea in most exam questions

When this phrase appears in management or organizational behavior test banks, higher level HPTs are usually those that:

  • Carry increasing levels of responsibility.
  • Function with minimal or no supervision.
  • Often can act autonomously in pursuing goals or solving performance problems.

So, if your multiple‑choice options look something like:

  • A. They have increasing responsibility but are still supervised.
  • B. They have increasing responsibility and do not require supervision.
  • C. They may function autonomously.
  • D. They may bill patients directly.

The best choice is typically the one emphasizing autonomy and lack of required supervision, which is closest to “they have increasing levels of responsibility and do not require supervision” (sometimes framed as “they may function autonomously”).

Quick conceptual recap

In organizational behavior:

  • A high‑performance team is a group with complementary skills, strongly shared purpose, and consistently superior results.
  • As teams progress to higher performance levels, they rely less on external supervision and more on internal norms, shared goals, and self‑management.

In human performance technology:

  • More advanced HPT practitioners work at broader levels (organizational or systemic), choosing and implementing interventions with substantial independence.
