In a short essay, discuss the equity theory and list three probable behavior responses that may occur when employees perceive an inequity.The equity theory proposes that employees perceive what they get from a job situation (outcomes) in relation to what they put into it (inputs) and then compare their inputs-outcomes ratios of relevant others. If an employee perceives his or her ratio to be equal to those of relevant others a state of equity exits. In other words, he or she perceives that the situation is fair. However, if the ratio is unequal, inequity exists and he or she views themselves as underrewarded or overrewarded. When inequities occur, employees attempt to do something about it. The equity theory prop oses that employees might (1) distort either their own or others’ inputs or outcomes, (2) behave in some way to induce others to change their inputs or outcomes, (3) behave in some way to change their own inputs or outcomes, (4) choose a different comparison person, or (5) quit their job.34.

Corporate-level strategy determines the direction that the organization is going and the roles that each business unit in the organization will plan in pursuing that direction.b.Business-level strategy –this strategy seeks to determine how an organization should compete in each of its businesses. For a small organization in only one line of business or the large organization that has not diversified into different products or markets, the business-level strategy typically overlaps with the orga nization’s corporate strategy.For organizations with multiple businesses, however, each division will have its own strategy that defines the products or services it will offer and the customers it wants to reach.c.Functional-level strategy –this strategy seeks to determine how to support the business-level strategy. For organizations that have traditional functional departments such as manufacturing, marketing, human resources, research and development, and finance, these strategies need to support the business-level strategy35.
