Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Equity Theory suggests that individuals compare their inputs (effort, skill, experience) and outcomes (salary, benefits, recognition) to those of others in similar positions to determine whether they are being treated fairly. This comparison varies from person to person, meaning that the importance of inputs and outcomes will also vary, ultimately impacting an individual's motivation.
