Equity Theory of Motivation Introduction: Robbins & Judge (2007, p.186) defines Motivation “as the processes that account for an individual’s intensity, direction, and persistence of effort towards attaining a goal”. Equity theory comes under process theory which gives the perception whether the individual is going to work hard or not depending upon the rewards and possible outcomes. This paper discusses and describes the equity theory of motivation with its implications to managers in the
management system that is being put in effect at the state correctional facility. This paper will provide a detailed definition of two motivational theories that will be compared and contrasted with each other that could possible utilized in implementation change at the facility. The motivated theories chosen are the expectancy theory and the equity theory. There has always been an issue to get employees motivated for managers and leaders. If the employees are not motivated they will put a minimal
and equity theory. In social exchange theory and equity theory, both deal with the costs and benefits aspect of a relationship. The main difference is while the social exchange theory seeks to maintain a relationship as long as the benefits outweigh the costs, equity theory states that both people in the relationship should benefit, both benefits and costs should be balanced. This paper will discuss the similarities and differences between the social exchange theory and the equity theory, as
on equity theory, outline the reasons why some employees might feel that the seniority policy might be considered unfair and why other employees might be interested in maintaining this policy. How would you advise Mr. Klein to adjust his seniority policy to maintain equity? The seniority policy might be considered unfair to some employees because their view may be that ‘it does not matter how many years you have been with a company. What matters is how hard and well you work opposed to others

be suffering as well. According to a journal entry in Teacher and Teacher Education, many factors predict job satisfaction, including the intrinsic reward of teaching, the factors extrinsic to school, and most importantly, the school-based The equity theory believes that people look at the work by comparing it to their work inputs, work outcome, and to their co-worker’s inputs and outcome, as well. When a teacher is dealing with disruptive students, constantly grading papers and tests, having conferences
The equity theory is the theory that I connected with and it made the most sense to me. I feel that it is very important for any manager to treat everyone fairly. If an employee perceives that they are being treated fairly, they will be motivated, will feel good about their work and be productive. Of course, if the employee does not feel that they are being treated fairly the reverse will occur; the poor productivity will eventually be noticed within the organization. I have been in the underreward/overreward
The Special equity relating to wives whom act as guarantors of their husband’s debt was refined by Dixon J who gave the leading judgment in the case of Yerkey v Jones. The essence of the principle was that if a wife who is the surety of her husband’s debt doesn’t understand essential information, due to the fact that the creditor has relied on the husband to inform his wife, and not dealt with her personally, the wife has a prima facie right to have the debt set aside. The principle has faced
substantially different, pay less and confer less authority. Equity means fairness and justice. Pay equity programs throughout the world attempt to legislate and regulate the elimination of systemic gender-based wage discrimination and to ensure ongoing systems that will maintain equitable wage relationships over time. Pay equity programs attempt to address the undervaluation for work traditionally or historically done by women. Pay equity (also referred to as “comparable worth”) programs require a
action of the play is concerned with contract law, but issues of standing, moiety, precedent, and conveyance are also raised. At the most fundamental level, though, the trial scene in Act IV illustrates the conflict between equity and the strict construction of the law. Equity, in the legal sense, is "justice according to principles of fairness and not strictly according to formulated law" (Gilbert 103). This definition, while easily understandable, presents us with a problematic - even dangerous
(Declaration of Independence,1776) This quote is symbolic of the expressed opinions and ideology of the founding fathers of America. History, especially the history of the American educational system, paints a contradictory portrait. Idealistic visions of equity and cultural integration are constantly bantered about; however, they are rarely implemented and materialized. All men are indeed created equal, but not all men are treated equally. For years, educators and society as a whole have performed a great
Equity in the Classroom The concerns regarding equity issues in math and science may seem minimal, but in reality are very large. Usually unintentionally, teachers pay more attention, and give more positive attention to boys in their classrooms. This is especially noticed in the areas of math and science. “Girls are equal to or ahead of boys in achievement” (Sadker, 1993, p. 67) in the early stages of schooling. So why do boys seem to do so much better in math and science in the later school
doctrine of unconscionable bargains can be regarded as difficult to define but various cases have succeeded in refining the doctrine to a simple understanding. In Evans v Llewllin, unconscionable bargains is a well established jurisdiction in equity to relief against transaction regarded as considerably disadvantageous to the complainant, who is in a special position of weakness compared to the defendant and where transaction was procured by the defendant in a morally culpable manner. The power
Section 16 (3) of the Contracts Act 1957: Where a person who is in a position to dominate the will of another, enters into a contract with him, and the transaction appears, on, the face of it or on the evidence adduced, to be unconscionable, the burden of proving that the contract was not induced by undue influence shall lie upon the person in a position to dominate the will of the other. Section 16(3) placed unconscionable bargain as a part of proving undue influence. Relying on an Indian case of
During my second year at YLS, the focus of my studies has shifted. Whereas the majority of my studies in year one revolved around the common law, this last year my legal education has focused upon the prevalence of the courts of equity in relation to the law of obligations and the law of property. Most notably, I have explored the far-reaching application of equitable redress. Additionally, another topic, which was touched upon last year, has been a core element of my work in relation to the interaction
trust implies that the trust property is conferred to the trustees and the trust is binding on the donor who cannot revoke the trust. When the trust property is not properly vested the trust is considered incompletely constituted and it is void as equity will not force the donor to complete the trust. The principles of constitution of trusts are derived from the case of Milroy v Lord (1862 where turner L.J. stated that the complete constitution of a trust requires the actual transfer of property
Yaxley v. Gotts (1999) and Stack v. Dowden (2007). This essay will describe the relevant judgements in these cases in order to show the differences between the two doctrines. Lord Denning described estoppel succinctly as ‘a principle of justice and equity. It comes to this: when a man, by his words or conduct, has led another to believe in a particular state of affairs, he will not be allowed to go back on it when it would be unjust or inequitable for him to do so’ . Proprietary estoppel in turn is
Upon fulfillment of the four criteria, namely that the defendant has been unjustly enriched at the claimant’s expense and there are no defenses available for the defendant, a claimant may qualify for restitution of unjust enrichment as established in Banque Financiere de la Cite v Parc (Battersea) Ltd. Change of position is one of the possible defences which may be used in occasions where it would be excessive to allow a claimant to claim restitution at the defendant’s expense. This essay will evaluate
