Jack Smith and Sam Clemens are neighbors who work as purchasing managers in different companies in the petrochemical industry. In a discussion, Jack learned that Sam's salary was nearly 15 percent higher than his although their job descriptions were similar. Jack was upset about Sam's higher salary although he hid his emotions from Sam. Jack was frustrated not only because of Sam's significantly higher salary, but also because he was certain that he worked longer hours and was more productive than Sam. According to equity theory research, what will Jack most likely do to feel better

there are several consequences of inequity and most times, the likelihood of occurence differs. a repercaution or  consequence is that Jack will try to increase his outcomes by meeting his senior heads or increase in his pay and an option also of  maximum use of company facilities and resources.

and also,  he can also limit/reduce his inputs by working fewer hours and with low impact in giving his  high performance.  peradventure if  these actions does not reduce his feelings of inequity drastically,  it will be advisable for Jack to seach/look for a purchasing management job in another firm orhave a second though about going into a better and higher-paying jobs still within his current organization. Jack's feelings of inequity can be limited/reduce if he can change his perceptions, but this is more difficult given the clarity of salary information. It is also unlikely that Jack would push Sam to work harder or try to reduce his salary and also for Jack to change his comparison other  can be difficult.
