It is concerned with the perceptions people have about how they are being treated as compared with others. To be dealt with equitably is to be treated fairly in comparison with another group of people or a relevant other person. This theory attempts to say that, people will be better motivated if they are treated equitably and dernotivated if they are treated inequitably.
There are two forms of equity. Distributive equity is concerned with the fairness with which people will feel they are rewarded in accordance with their contributions and in comparison with others. On the other hand, procedural equity is concerned with the perception employees have about the fairness with which organization procedures in areas such as performance appraisal promotion and discipline are being operated.
In 1990, identified five factors that contributed to perception of procedural fairness were identified. They are:
* Adequate consideration of an employee’s view point.
* Suppression of personal bias towards the employee.
* Applying criteria consistently across employee.
* Providing early feedback to employees concerning the outcome of decisions. * Providing employees with an adequate explanation of the decision made.
