One of the motivation based theories discussed in this chapter is Equity Theory. According to Equity Theory we naturally compare our own ratio of inputs (time effort education training etc) we bring or give to a job versus the outcomes (compensation benefits favorable working hours opportunities for promotion recognition etc.) we receive from the job to the perceived inputs to outcomes ratio of our co-workers.
Talk about a time in which you felt that your ratio did not compare favorably with someone else. Perhaps you were contributing more inputs but getting the same outcomes (or even less outcomes). How did you attempt to fix the situation? Did it involve trying to increase the outcomes (asking for a raise better schedule etc.) or did it involve decreasing your inputs (calling in sick more often being late not volunteering for extra tasks etc.)?
