      According to Adams’ Equity Theory, an employee

      experiencing over-reward inequity is most likely to:
      A Reduce effort to restore balance Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Increase inputs by working harder Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Seek to change the referent group Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Ignore the disparity altogether Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E File a grievance with management Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      In over-reward situations, individuals often experience guilt and attempt to increase their inputs (work harder, increase cooperation) to restore perceived equity. Under-reward → reduce effort; over-reward → increase effort.
