Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to equity theory, individuals compare their inputs (effort, skills, experience, etc.) and outcomes (pay, benefits, recognition, etc.) to those of others in similar positions. If they perceive an imbalance, such as receiving less pay for the same level of effort as a coworker, they may become demotivated or dissatisfied. Therefore, the importance of inputs and outcomes varies from one person to the next.
