Paul works in a group of six telemarketers. Looking around, his subjective perception is that he is putting in more effort than the others but not getting any more back. He is most likely to:

tell the other five that they need to work harder to match his level of effort

either ask for a raise or stop working so hard

work even harder to clearly distinguish himself as the top person in the group

decide it isnt worth worrying about and keep going as is
