Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of comparing pay and work conditions to those of friends and relatives falls under equity theory, which states that employees compare their inputs (such as effort and skill) to their outcomes (such as pay and recognition) with those of others to determine their level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their job. If they perceive an inequity in their input-outcome ratio compared to others, they may become demotivated.
