Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Equity theory proposes that employees compare their own input-outcome ratios to those of others and if they perceive inequity, then they will be motivated to restore equity. The important aspect of this theory is that employees' perceptions of equity are subjective, meaning that they may value certain inputs and outcomes differently than others. Thus, the importance of inputs and outcomes varies from one person to the next.
