Question

When Jane appeared for an interview at Incogyn Inc., she was promised a monthly pay of $7,500 after all tax deductions. However, after her first month at work, she received only $7,230. She filed a suit against the company on the grounds of misrepresentation of information, and the company incurred losses because of the amount it had to pay as fine. In the context of the general environment, this scenario best illustrates the effect of the _____ on organizations.
A) technological componentB) sociocultural componentC) legal componentD) geographical component

Answer 1

Answer:

C) legal component

Explanation:

When Jane got the job at Incogyn Inc she signed a contract that states she would receive $7,500 after all taxes are paid. Instead she was paid $7,230.

This is a misinterpretation of information, breach of the contract between Jane and Incogyn so the loss incurred was as a result of legal component of Incogyn Inc's environment.

When companies make deductions not previously agreed upon, the information should be passed along to the employees to avoid legal action.
