EQUITY theory
BY: JOHN STACEY ADAMS
Meaning / Assumptions:
 humans compare, at all times, in all situations.
 equity based on a logical, accepted and common standard is preferred to
EQUALITY.
 As long as people feel as being fairly treated, they stay motivated.
Terms:
 Referent : the people to whom we compare ourselves with.
The higher the referent, the greater the motivation to succeed.
but too much higher and it becomes a de motivator.
Justice:
 distributive
 organisational
 interactional
Continued……
 Inequality is countered by;
Change in inputs/ outcomes.
Distortion in perceptions of self/ others.
Change in referents.
quitting the field.
Lessons:
 Be consistent in behaviour.
 Money alone doesn’t motivate, but it doesn’t mean that MONEY doesn’t
motivate at all.
 Communicate your decisions effectively.
THANK YOU

Editor's Notes

  1. Distributive justice is related to pay, incentives and other monetary benefits. Organisational justice relates to job satisfaction, employee trust, fairness, consistency etc. Interactional justice relates to perception of individuals as to being treated with dignity, concern, and respect.
  2. More/ less effort. Self boasting/ self depreciation. Changing the one to whom we compare ourselves. Leave the job.
