Team 1: Equity Theory The Equity Theory of motivation was developed by John Stacey Adams in 1963. The key components of this theory are:

1. Inputs: These are what an individual contributes to their job, such as effort, skills, experience, and time.
2. Outcomes: These are what an individual receives from their job, such as salary, benefits, recognition, and promotions.
3. Comparison: Individuals compare their input-outcome ratio with that of others. If they perceive an imbalance or inequity, they may feel demotivated. The relationship between these components is that the perception of fairness or equity is achieved when an individual's input-outcome ratio is perceived as equal to that of others. If not, it leads to dissatisfaction and demotivation.

Team 2: Expectancy Theory The Expectancy Theory was proposed by Victor Vroom in 1964. The key components of this theory are:

1. Expectancy: The belief that increased effort will lead to increased performance.
2. Instrumentality: The belief that if one performs well, then a valued outcome will be received.
3. Valence: The value an individual places on the rewards of an outcome. The relationship between these components is that motivation is high when all three components are high. If any of these components is low, motivation will be low.

Team 3: Job Design Theory Job Design Theory focuses on how to structure jobs to improve employee satisfaction and productivity. The key components are:

1. Skill Variety: The degree to which a job requires a variety of different activities.
2. Task Identity: The degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work.
3. Task Significance: The degree to which a job has a substantial impact on the lives or work of other people.
4. Autonomy: The degree to which a job provides substantial freedom, independence, and discretion to the individual.
5. Feedback: The degree to which carrying out the work activities required by a job results in the individual obtaining direct and clear information about the effectiveness of his or her performance. The relationship between these components is that a job is more motivating if it scores highly on these five characteristics.

Team 4: Empowerment Theory Empowerment Theory focuses on the process by which individuals gain control over their lives. The key components are:

1. Self-Efficacy: Belief in one's ability to perform a task.
2. Self-Determination: The ability to control one's own destiny.
3. Personal Consequence: Belief that one's actions will result in outcomes.
4. Meaning: The value of a goal or purpose, judged in relation to an individual's own ideals or standards. The relationship between these components is that when individuals feel empowered, they are more likely to be motivated and take action.
