Adam’s Equity Theory is a model of motivation which basically states that employees will perform at a more productive rate if they feel that they are being treated fairly (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010). Equity is achieved when a worker perceives their reward for their amount of work to be equal to that of a relevant worker.

Anne’s personal power (or referent power) is a way of obtaining compliance through her charisma or charm. It is internal to her and cannot be taken away. It includes her character, personality, intelligence, etc. (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010). She is known for being energetic, enthusiastic, and capable. It has nothing to do with the position she holds. Her personal power can strengthen her positional power. If people respect her for who she is on the inside (personal power) she will not have to resort to using her job title (positional power) to get things accomplished. People will comply because they respect her decisions and not just because she’s the boss.
