    According to the equity theory it will improve efficiency and productivity of his performance. Equity theory of motivation suggests that the employees will be motivated by fairness. Jim is salaried employee when he finds that he is paid more than colleagues he will try to work hard to prove that quality of his work is better than his peers.

    On the contrary if he knows that everyone is equally paid but feels if he does a lot of work then he would take things lightly and would not show productivity.
