Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equity theory suggests that employees compare their inputs and outcomes to those of their colleagues, and if they perceive the rewards as fair, they will be motivated. Therefore, managers must ensure that the rewards are perceived as fair for employees to be motivated. Options A and B are incorrect as rewarding an employee more or less than their perception of fairness will not necessarily improve their performance. Options D and E are also incorrect as employees do not need to consider their inputs or outcomes as equal to those of their comparison other, but perceive them as fair.
