However, when they perceive the ratios to be unequal they may experience anger or guilt depending on the result of the equity analysis and then tension can arise. This tension can motivate people to act in a way to bring the situation into a more equitable state. * The most commonly used and widely accepted theory of motivation is Victor Vroom’s Expectancy Theory.
