Equity Theory01:26

Equity Theory

404
Equity theory explains how our sense of fairness influences the dynamics of close relationships. Rooted in social psychology, the theory posits that individuals evaluate fairness by comparing the ratio of their contributions to the rewards they receive. Relationship satisfaction is highest when these ratios are perceived as balanced between partners, promoting mutual reciprocity and a sense of justice.Equity vs. Equality in RelationshipsEquity is distinct from equality. Fairness does not...

Social Exchange Theory01:26

Social Exchange Theory

817
As formulated by John Thibaut and Harold Kelley, Social Exchange Theory explains human relationships as economic-like exchanges that maximize rewards and minimize costs. This theory suggests that individuals engage in relationships to gain benefits and reduce burdens, similar to economic transactions. It has been widely applied to various types of relationships, including romantic, professional, and social interactions.Rewards and Costs in RelationshipsRelationship rewards include emotional...

Social Exchange Theory

41.0K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

987
Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus:...

Rotter's Locus of Control

1.3K
Julian Rotter introduced the concept of locus of control, a cognitive factor that significantly influences personality development and learning. Locus of control refers to an individual's beliefs about the extent of control they have over events in their lives. According to Rotter, this belief system can be categorized into two types: internal and external locus of control.
Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that their personal efforts and decisions directly affect their...

Incentive Theory: Pull Theory of Motivation01:18

Incentive Theory: Pull Theory of Motivation

1.4K
Incentive theory, or the "pull theory" of motivation, suggests that external rewards primarily drive behavior. Individuals are motivated to engage in activities when they anticipate a desirable outcome. This is why people often work hard for promotions or study intensively to achieve high grades. These incentives can be tangible, physical rewards such as money or promotions, or intangible, non-physical rewards like praise and social recognition.
The theory differentiates between...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Behavior
  • Psychology
  • Management

Background:

  • Job embeddedness (JE) is a growing area of research.
  • Existing literature lacks a comprehensive, integrated model.
  • Conservation of Resources (COR) theory offers a potential framework for understanding JE.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advance a multifoci model of job embeddedness (JE).
  • To theoretically ground the model in Conservation of Resources (COR) theory.
  • To explore how different foci of embeddedness influence work and nonwork outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical advancement of a multifoci job embeddedness model.
  • Integration of Conservation of Resources (COR) theory.
  • Conceptual analysis of contextual antecedents and outcome interactions.

Main Results:

  • Employee motivation to acquire/protect resources explains JE.
  • Contextual factors influence embedding across different foci.
  • Work-focused JE differentially affects outcomes and interacts with nonwork foci.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed COR-based JE model offers an integrative framework.
  • Highlights theoretical and practical implications for understanding employee embeddedness.
  • Suggests directions for future research on job embeddedness and resource management.
