(professor) Let's look at a couple of situations to see the equity theory in action. We'll talk about this theory in terms of a mythical employee, employee X. In the first situation, a coworker of employee X has the same job title as employee X, does the same amount of work, makes the same amount of money, and has a similar office. In this situation, employee X will feel satisfied with his job because he and his coworker receive equal returns for their contributions. The second situation is different. In the second situation, a coworker of employee X has the same job title but does less work, makes more money, and has a bigger office than employee X. In this situation, employee X will not feel satisfied because he receives a lower return for his contribution than the coworker.
