Equity it is one of the primary factors correlated with job satisfaction and employee motivation.
Equity in the workplace refers to the fair and just distribution of opportunities, resources, rewards, and responsibilities among all employees, regardless of their background, characteristics, or identities.
When we make incorrect assumptions about others, we can hire or promote the wrong person, distribute responsibilities in a way that is inequitable or inefficient, or make unfair decisions that lead to employee frustrations and lower motivation, among other things. Also, if we allow team members to judge each other or act based on false beliefs, their relationships will suffer and the work environment will not be safe and supportive. Of course, this will affect their motivation and work results.
