LivWell Biotechnology Company Has Four Locations in the Metropolitan Area

LivWell Biotechnology Company has four locations in the metropolitan area where you live.You work as a marketing specialist at the oldest and southern most location.Your colleagues at three other locations get ½ hour off each day to work out because there are work out facilities at each of their locations.You know that you make a little more than they do,but after measuring the cost of stopping off at the local physical fitness center on your way home each evening,you realize that your extra compensation would not cover the cost of a gym membership.You are keeping tabs on marketing positions that may open at the other locations.Although you enjoy the people that you work with at LivWell's southern location,you would agree that you are using equity theory,to bring a sense of fairness to what you perceive as an inequity.
Equity theory states that if workers perceive a sense of unfairness,they will collect comparative information.They will somehow strive to bring a sense of equity to the situation by making a change,or they will rationalize that the inequity is not that important.
