Managing the Equity Factor Or After All I've Done for You Author:Richard C. Huseman, John D. Hatfield Managing the Equity Factor ... OR "After All I've done for You..." — — A New System for High-Performance Relationships at Work and Rewarding Relationships at Home -- Starting Today. — — "After all I've done for you" expresses the feeling we all have when we have contributed more t... more »o a relationship than we have received. It is an internal system of checks and balances that influences the way people perform in relationships. Richard C. Huseman and John D. Hatfield, professors at the University of Georgia Business School, have developed this basic sense of fairness into a practical tool for managing all kinds of relationships. They call it the Equity Factor.
If an employee does not perceive equitable treatment on the job, he or he may become dissatisfied, quit, or actively sabotage work until the Equity Factor rebalances. Huseman and Hatfield offer principles and strategies that recognize and build upon this dynamic. Application of the Equity Factor can dramatically improve managerial effectiveness and organizational productivity.
Based on good research and written in a down-to-earth, accessible style, Managing the Equity Factor is a notable contribution to the psychology of relationships which can be applied to any mutual endeavor, including marriage, and is particularly helpful in the workplace. Relationships become more manageable for both employees and managers as equity strategies turn "After all I've done for you . . ." into "Look what we can do . . . for each other."« less
