What is the Adams Equity Theory? |
|
Answer» The Adams Equity Theory was developed by the American psychologist John Stacey Adams in 1963. It’s about the balance between the effort an employee puts into their work (input), and the result they get in return (output). Input includes hard work, skills, and enthusiasm. Output can be things like salary, recognition, and responsibility. A proper balance between input and output ensures that an employee feels satisfied and motivated, contributing to their productivity. The Adam’s Equity Theory posits that people maintain a fair relationship between the performance and rewards in comparison to others. In other words, an employee gets de-motivated by the job and his employer in case his inputs are more than the outputs. |

Why is Willam Harvery’s work a milestone in medicine? |
|
Answer» William Harvey was an English physician who lived in the 17th century. He was the first person to correctly describe blood’s circulation in the body. He showed that arteries and veins form a complete circuit and that this circuit starts at the heart, and leads back to the heart. He also established that the heart’s regular contractions drive the flow of blood around the whole body. Before his discoveries, blood was thought to ebb and flow through the body by the contraction of arteries. Harvey’s knowledge came from observations he made of blood flowing through the veins and arteries of living animals that he cut open. This may seem crule, as there were no anaesthetics in Harvey’s time. Nevertheless, it how we arrived at an understanding of blood and its circulation in the body. William Harvey’s work also laid down the foundations of physiology, which is the study of body functions. |
