Case Study 2

A Zero Wage Increases Again?

Directions: The following questions are based on the case study, “A Zero Wage Increase Again?” (available in Blackboard). Responses should be in full-sentence format, and between one to two paragraphs long. Please use Times New Roman 12-point font for your answers. Responses should be double-spaced. Write your answers directly in this document, below each bolded question.

You may use your textbook and the lecture notes to justify your responses. If you are paraphrasing from one of these sources, you do not need to use in-text citations or include a References section. If you would like to use a direct quote from either of these sources, be sure to use quotations and cite the source at the end of the quote (e.g., Jones & George, 2018; Arvan, 2018). A References section is still not necessary.

A References section is not necessary for this assignment unless you use a source other than your textbook and lecture notes. If you are using a source other than the lecture notes or textbook, indicate where you used this source using in-text citations, and include it in a References section. (The Purdue Online Writing Lab has an excellent guide on APA-style in-text citations and references for a variety of different sources).

This assignment is due on Friday, November 9th at 11:59 PM. It must be submitted to Blackboard under the “Case Study 2” assignment. No late assignments or emailed assignments will be accepted.

Assignments must be submitted to Blackboard in a Word document format. Retitle your document as “[Your Last Name]- Case Study 1- [Your Section Number].” So if my name is John Doe and I am in Section K, I would title my document, “Doe- Case Study 1- K.”

Please note that you are responsible for making sure that there are no formatting issues in your assignment, and that it downloads correctly.

MGT 330 Section:

1. Should Mark give an increase to all of his employees, or only to the deserving minority? Justify your answer using equity theory. You will need to explain the arguments of equity theory in your answer.

2. Assume that Mark is going to reward the “deserving minority” of his employees, based on their past performance levels. Assume he has at least one year of performance appraisals / evaluations for all employees that he can use to base this decision on. Specify the process or procedure that Mark should use in order to determine who will get the raise, and how much of a raise each employee will receive. Using the lecture notes on fair procedures, specify 3 aspects of this procedure that will ensure high procedural justice. Be sure to define procedural justice in your answer.
