According to equity theory, individuals compare their inputs (efforts, contributions) and outputs (rewards) to those of others, and if they perceive inequity (under-reward compared to others), they will feel motivated to restore equity. However, if they perceive equity, they are likely to continue their efforts and maintain their level of performance. Therefore, Aryn and Mary, who perceive that they are equitably rewarded, are likely to continue putting forth effort without requesting a raise, working harder or longer, or doing less work.
