Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reinforcement theory suggests that appropriate rewards reinforce a high level of performance, while equity theory suggests that employees compare their inputs and outcomes (rewards) with those of others to determine if they are being treated fairly. Therefore, in the integrated model for motivation, both reinforcement theory and equity theory are used to understand how rewards can influence employee motivation.
