Demand & Supply Theory
Alfred Marshall, the chief exponent to this theory, explained thecomplexity of the economic world tried to provide a less rigid &deterministic theory. According to him, the determination of wages isaffected by the whole set of actors which govern demand for & supplyof labour. The demand price of labour, however, determined by themarginal productivity of the individual worker
The term supply & laborcan be expressed in a number of senses.First, it refers to the number of workers seeking employment; these arethe workers who have no alternative livelihood & oin the labor marketseeking employment for wages. !econdly, supply & labormay referto the number of hours each worker is available for work. The supply oflabour in this sense increases with any increase in the number ofworking hours.

Behavioral Theories of Motivation
Equity Theory
"#uity can be external or external.Internalequityrefers to the paydifferential between & among the various skills & levels ofresponsibility. "xternal e#uity refers to concerns regarding how wagelevels for similar skill levels in one firm compare with those in other
firms in similar or the same industry & location.
Epe!tan!y theory
$t suggests that motivation depends on individuals% expectations abouttheir ability to perform tasks & receive the desired rewards. An
employer%s responsibility is to help employees meet their needs &, atthe same time, attain organiational goals. "mployers must try to findout match between employees% skills & abilities & the ob demands.
