Equity and Expectance

The document discusses two process theories of motivation: expectancy theory and equity theory. Expectancy theory states that motivation is highest when workers believe that high effort will lead to high performance, and high performance will lead to desired outcomes. Equity theory proposes that employees are motivated when they perceive a fair balance between their job inputs (effort, skills, etc.) and outputs (pay, benefits, recognition, etc.). The document also notes that managers can motivate employees by linking outcomes to desired workplace behaviors, as per learning theories.
