“… Deas (2021) summarized these principles as the motivation of employees by their intra-motivation to maintain a balance between, on the one side, their own agreed upon attitudinal and performance-orientated inputs and efforts that they contribute within their jobs and tasks, and on the other hand, in exchange for their input and effort, the agreed upon outcomes from the organization. This perceived input-outcome balance incorporates the assessment of the equity and fairness ratio between the psychological career value requirements (that is, the agreed upon inputs delivered) and the expected agreed upon organizational outcomes ( Deas and Coetzee, 2021 ; Guan et al, 2021 ). Bal and Vink (2011) found that if the perception is present that a fair input-outcome is being achieved, and if employees believe that there is a balance between their personal goals, motives and values ( Payne et al, 2008 ), a positive psychological contract appraisal, high job satisfaction and affective organizational commitment will be reached.…”
