Trang 19Process Theories of Motivation
Equity theory
Developed by J Stacy Adams
When people believe that they have been treated unfairly in comparison to
others, they try to eliminate the discomfort and restore a perceived sense of equity to the situation

Equity and social comparison
People compare their ratio of outcomes-to-inputs to the outcomes-to-inputs
ratio of another (a referent)

Trang 22Process Theories of Motivation
– Over-reward inequity (positive inequity) occurs when an individual
perceives that rewards received are more than what is fair for work
inputs
– Under-reward inequity (negative inequity) occurs when an individual perceives that rewards received are less than what is fair for work inputs

Expectancy theory
Expectancy — belief that working hard will result in desired level of performance
Instrumentality — belief that successful performance will be followed by rewards
Valence — value a person assigns to rewards and other work related outcomes

Trang 27Process Theories of Motivation
Expectancy theory
– Motivation (M), expectancy (E), instrumentality (I), and valence (V) are related to one another in a multiplicative fashion:
Motivation = Expectancy x Instrumentality x Valence
If either E, I, or V is low, motivation will be low
