Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lucille perceives an inequity because she feels that the ratio of her inputs (going in early, working through lunch) to her outcomes (completed projects) is less favorable than Michael's input-outcome ratio, despite both producing about the same amount of work. This perception leads to a sense of unfairness or inequity.
