When I first accepted a supervisory role at my last organization I was infatuated with the idea of being in this role \u2013 especially at such a young age, over a decade younger than my counterparts. However, due to my age and inexperience within such a role, I was offered a salary that had seemed reasonable at the time, but I later found out was below the market value. Even more defeating, it was lower than the wage that individuals I was supervising with no experience within their role were making. This felt entirely unfair to myself and my perception of the distributive fairness (Oregon State University \u2013 Lecture 1, n.d.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The realization that I was being paid less for a significantly larger workload and extended workweeks as I was working a minimum of 55-60 hours a week was incredibly defeating. Intrinsically, this compensation discrepancy affected my connection to the company as well as with my own perception of my value to the company (Oregon State University \u2013 Lecture 1, n.d.). Through repeated underpayment and disconnection through my extrinsic and intrinsic perception of compensation, I eventually left the role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compensation motivated my behavior as there were clear inequalities as displayed through the Equality Theory (Oregon State University \u2013 Lecture 1, n.d.). I felt that my input and the outputs I was receiving were not equal or fair as displayed through the inputs of those on my team both in similar roles and those of the staff that I was supervising compared to the outputs that they were receiving. I wanted to feel valued for the effort and strengths that I bring to the organization and the compensation that I was receiving did not reflect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
