Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Needs-supplies fit involves the extent to which the rewards and benefits received by employees meet their perceived needs, expectations, and requirements, which includes salary and other benefits. This fit is related to the equity theory, which suggests that employees compare their inputs (efforts and performance) and outputs (rewards) to those of their colleagues to judge the fairness of their treatment. Thus, when employees perceive a high level of needs-supplies fit, they feel that their efforts and performance are fairly rewarded, which in turn enhances their job satisfaction, motivation, and commitment.
