Question 9 of 10– of 1 point

These employees are male, and all hold the exact position she had held prior to her promotion but in other regions of Canada. She was surprised and disappointed to learn that four of the six employees were making more money than she had been paid in her former position, even though they all had less experience and were junior to her in seniority. She raised this issue with her new boss and asked for a higher salary in her new role to compensate for the inequity she had been subjected to for more than four years. Her boss refused and she was so incensed she left the organization. The actions of this female employee are best explained by which theory?
A. salary inequity theory
B. expectancy theory
