Adams' Equity Theory - job motivation

Balance 'calibrated' and measured against

comparable references in the market-place.

What I put into my job: time, effort,

ability, loyalty, tolerance, flexibility,

integrity, commitment, reliability,

heart and soul, personal sacrifice, etc.

What I get from my job: pay, bonus,

perks, benefits, security, recognition,

interest, development, reputation,

praise, responsibility, enjoyment, etc.

inputs

outputs

People become demotivated and reduce input and/or seek change or

improvement whenever they feel their inputs are not being fairly

rewarded by outputs. Fairness is based on perceived market norms.
