Equity theory states that employees compare the ratio of their input (e.g. effort, time, skill) to the output they receive (e.g. pay, benefits, recognition) with their referent group (e.g. coworkers, people in similar positions). The ratio should be equal or very similar to their referent group to feel a sense of fairness and motivation. Therefore, the correct answer is A as input refers to the effort, time, and skill an employee puts into their job.
