User:DJames5/Job Satisfaction Equity Theory

Equity Theory
[] Other psychologists have extended the equity theory, suggesting three behavioral response patterns to situations of perceived equity or inequity (Huseman, Hatfield, & Mile, 1987; O'Neil & Mone 1998). These three types are benevolent, equity sensitive, and entitled. The level by each type affects motivation, job satisfaction, and job performance.
 * 1) Benevolent-Satisfied when they are under-rewarded compared with co-workers
 * 2) Equity sensitive-Believe everyone should be fairly rewarded
 * 3) Entitled-People believe that everything they receive is their just due
