Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An exchange relationship is characterized by a concern for reciprocity and achieving equity. This means that individuals expect to receive benefits or rewards that are proportionate to what they contribute. In other words, there is a quid pro quo expectation of exchange, making sure that the investment/participation between the two parties is as equal as possible. The other options - communal and tribal - suggest a more communal or group-oriented approach to relationships, where benefits are shared more broadly across the group. Fairness is a concept that could apply to any type of relationship, but it does not specifically capture the idea of reciprocity and equity that is unique to exchange relationships.
