A hiring agent offers a scientist approximately the same salary, facilities, equipment, and shared laboratory with 10 highly skilled and enthusiastic scientists. Part of the job is to collaborate with these peers and jointly develop promising drug compounds. This structure will create greater firm loyalty than one in which the hiring agent offers only monetary compensation.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
In this case, the scientist is offered approximately the same salary, facilities, and equipment plus one additional ingredient: working in a laboratory with 10 highly skilled and enthusiastic scientists. Part of the job is to collaborate with these peers and jointly develop promising drug compounds. There is little doubt as to which scenario will lead to a higher probability of retaining the scientist. The interaction, sharing, and collaboration will create a situation in which the scientist will develop firm-specific ties and be less likely to bolt for a higher salary offer.
