Brandy has been given a great deal of opportunity to advance her career. She recently got a huge increase in authority and salary, and she was hired to do what she has always claimed was her dream job. However, Brandy is not enthusiastic about coming to work, and when she is there, she spends most of her time complaining about how Maurice got a bigger office and nicer furniture than she did. Brandy’s behavior would seem to support EQUITY theory.

The equity theory of motivation is a theory that states that, what an employee receives for their work as a reward has a direct effect on the their motivation.

This means that, an employee who is efficient and effective in his services is expected to be paid higher reward in order to keep him motivated to do more.

If the employee is paid less than their inputs, then, they will lost the motivation to work leading to reduction in productivity.

An employee generally aim to create a balance between what they give to the organization compared to what they get in return.

There are two components of equity theory:

1. Input: This is the contribution of an employee towards receiving a reward.

2. Output: This is the compensation an employee receives as a result of the input they provide.

the disproportionate poverty faced by women and girls comes as a result of discrimination and exclusion within bangladeshi society, struggling to establish their rights and influence in decision-making processes. traditional practices such as dowries, child marriages and the relegation of being last to eat have created a demeaning and dangerous sociopolitical context for girls and women.
