Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Outcomes are the rewards or benefits that an employee receives from their job, such as pay, benefits, and status symbols. Inputs are the contributions or efforts an employee puts into their job, such as time, effort, and skills. Referents are the other people that employees compare themselves to in determining equity. Valences are the values that employees place on different outcomes and inputs. Therefore, pay, fringe benefits, status symbols, and job titles and assignments are examples of outcomes in the equity theory.
