Question

Wayne is on the production line for Medical Services Inc. He has been there for five years and has won Employee of the Month more than anyone else. Zander, his coworker, who has only been at Medical Services three years and hasn’t even been nominated for Employee of the Month, just received a promotion. Wayne perceives a:________.

a) negative output.
b) positive inequity.
c) negative expectancy.
d) negative inequity.
e) positive output.

Answer 1

Negative inequity

Step-by-step explanation:

Wayne is one of the best employees of Medical Services, but Zander got a promotion which Wayne deserved. This situation normally leads to less job satisfaction and lower productivity. In the above case, Wayne perceives negative inequity; it’s a situation where someone is not recognised for his/her contribution. Negative inequity occurs due to unfairness and inequality.
