Data shows that a large percentage of retail theft can be attributed to employees. There are many "reasons" for this stealing. In terms of right and wrong the excuses are not relevant. However, it is may be appropriate to review the reasons, since they shape employee behavior. I am referring to: low salaries, little or no training, no incentives, no opportunities for growth - the dead-end of entrance-level retail employment The employees are practicing what is termed "equity theory." "By taking something of value from my employer I am making the situation more equitable."
