Answer to Question 1

According to equity theory, presented in Chapter 9, people want rewards to be
equitable. In other words, the ratio between inputs and outcomes should be the same
for the self as it is for others. Relative to co-workers, then, the more effort you exert,
and the more you contribute, the more money you should earn. If you feel overpaid or
underpaid, however, you will experience distress and try to relieve it by (1) restoring
actual equity, say, by working less or getting a raise, or (2) convincing yourself that
equity already exists (Cropanzano, 1993).

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
