Introduction
Organisational Behaviour is the study of the action of human behaviour in
organisational settings. The relation between the organisation and human behaviour is called
organisational behaviour. The actions of an individual toward the roles and responsibilities of
the organisation are considered as organisational behaviour. It is required for every
organisation to implement the organisation theories for the effective result or output .The
main goals of organisational behaviour are to develop a healthy environment in which the
employees perform well in their performances. The organisational behaviour has been
influenced by development in a number of allied disciplines such and sociology, economics,
engineering and psychology. There are many theories of organisational behaviour which help
to develop the positive environment and improve the organisation performance such as
motivation theory, equity theory, and job satisfaction theory, etc. (Raziq, & Maulabakhsh,

Equity theory
Equity theory focuses on the determination whether the distribution of resources is
equal and fair for both the rational partners. As per the theory, every person of an
organisation has been treated equally in terms of rights and benefits. This theory is measured
by analysing the ratio of contribution and benefits for each person. It is required to maintain
the equity between the inputs that they bring to a job and the outcomes that employee receive
against the perceived inputs and outcomes of others (Judge, Weiss, Kammeyer-Mueller, &
