Asang, an employee at Bling Corp., has been expecting a promotion for the excellent

work she has done. On the day of the announcement, her manager informs her that there

is a problem with her promotion. He claims that he will have to pull strings to have her

promotion approved. However, the process would be much simpler if she would return the

favor by giving him some “special attention.” What phenomenon is best exemplified in this

scenario?
