WellTech, a Biotechnology Firm, Has Four Locations Throughout Colorado

question 352

True/False

WellTech, a biotechnology firm, has four locations throughout Colorado. Marcy is a marketing specialist at the oldest and most rural location. Her colleagues at the three other sites get an hour off each day to work out because there are gym facilities at those locations. While Marcy knows that she makes a little more money than they do, she measured the cost of stopping off at the gym on her way home each evening. She realized that the extra compensation does not cover the cost of the membership. Because of this, Marcy is keeping tabs on marketing positions that may open at the company's other sites. Equity theory suggests that she is motivated to bring a sense of fairness to what she perceives as an inequity.
