Abstract: | Abstract Data from a national survey of African-American workers were used to test predictions from equity theory regarding the “distress” that results from negative inequity (below expected level) and positive inequity (above expected level) in pay and occupational prestige. The results showed differential effects of the two types of inequity on dependent variables of job satisfaction and self-report of job-related skill. Although those faced with opposite forms of inequity fostered different strategies for inequity reduction, in each case, workers chose a strategy that was self-protective. |
