Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

Question

1. Janice has been difficult for some of her teammates to work with. According to equity theory, if she were to receive a raise so as to be compensated similarly to her peers, she would be more likely to cooperate in a group setting.
2. Management's assessment of fairness is most important under equity theory. 
3. Expectancy theory suggests that people are motivated by how much they want something and how likely they think they are to get it. 
4. In expectancy theory, a person's expectancy is her belief that a particular level of effort will lead to a particular level of performance. 

Answer 1

1. TRUE
Employees who think they are treated fairly (such as by receiving a raise) are more likely to support organizational change, more apt to cooperate in group settings, and less apt to turn to arbitration and the courts to remedy real or imagined wrongs.
2. FALSE
Probably the most important result of research on equity theory is this: no matter how fair managers think the organization's policies, procedures, and reward system are, each employee's perception of those factors is what counts.
3. TRUE
Expectancy theory suggests that people are motivated by two things: (1) how much they want something and (2) how likely they think they are to get it.
4. TRUE
Expectancy is the belief that a particular level of effort will lead to a particular level of performance.
