A New Perspective on Equity Theory: The Equity Sensitivity Construct
提出公平敏感性这一新构念，认为个体对公平/不公平的反应取决于其对不同结果/投入比率的偏好，并讨论了该构念对组织公平研究的启示。
Equity theory proposes that individuals who perceive themselves as either underrewarded or overrewarded will experience distress, and that this distress leads to efforts to restore equity. This paper describes a new construct, equity sensitivity, and proposes that reactions to equity/inequity are a function of an individual's preferences for different outcome/input ratios. The construct is delineated through a series of propositions, and implications for equity research in organizations are discussed.
