Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Equity theory is based on an employee's perception of the fairness or equity of the balance between the employee's inputs (effort, time, skills, etc.) and the outcomes (pay, benefits, recognition, etc.) they receive compared to others. This perception of fairness determines their level of motivation and satisfaction with their job and organization. Therefore, the employee's perception regarding the balance of outcomes to inputs is the key to equity theory.
