Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario suggests that the employees are feeling undervalued compared to their peers. This relates to equity theory, which states that people strive to maintain a balance between their inputs (effort, time, etc.) and outcomes (pay, rewards, recognition) with the inputs and outcomes of their peers. If they perceive a lack of balance or equity, they may become demotivated and disengaged. Therefore, Henry should focus on equity and ensure that employees feel valued and treated fairly compared to their peers to reduce turnover and absenteeism.
