Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Both underpayment inequity and overpayment inequity are dysfunctional for organizations, managers, and employees. In the case of overpayment, employees are sometimes motivated to increase their inputs to restore equity (an effort that is functional for the organization). However, they are more likely to be motivated to change their perceptions of inputs or outcomes (an effort that is dysfunctional because there is no actual increase in the level of inputs contributed by the overpaid employees). In the case of underpayment, capable and deserving employees may be motivated to reduce their inputs or even leave the organization, both of which are dysfunctional for the organization. Moreover, sometimes when employees feel very unfairly treated, they engage in unethical behaviors such as stealing from the organization.
