Summary/Abstract: The paper reports a study conducted with Romanian employees (N = 319) designed to identify the perception on inputs and outcomes, as defined by equity theory. The results showed that Romanian employees consider that personal features as correctness and seriousness or taking responsibility are the most important contributions for which is expected a just reward. Job security, respecting employee rights and appreciation of direct supervisor are the main rewards expected in return for contributions. Practical implications of the findings, along with limitations and directions for future research are discussed.
