Further Limitations in the Equity Theory Approach: A Reply to Samuel

Daniel Romer

Institute for the Study of Developmental Disabilities University of Illinois at Chicago Circle

My suggestion that equity theory only applies to "limited" resource situations has been criticized by Samuel (1978). In this paper, equity theory is examined in regard to situations involving limited and unlimited resources. Consistent with the earlier suggestion, it is concluded that equity theory is inappropriate when resources are unlimited and that it may not apply to certain cases involving limited resources.
