Question: All of the following statements about employee pay are true EXCEPT: Employees who feel like they are overpaid in comparison to their peers are likely to work harder so that they can "earn" their pay. Employees who feel like they are underpaid relative to their peers might steal from the organization in order to supplement their pay. Giving employees as much information as possible about how pay is determined is a way to help them feel like they are being treated fairly. When employees compare their pay to that received by their peers in other organizations they are assessing external equity.
