Job equity refers to comparing oneself with:

Job equity primarily concerns the fairness of how individuals are compensated and treated within their organization, relative to their peers. When employees assess job equity, they often look at the compensation, work conditions, and overall treatment in relation to others holding the same position.

Choosing the option that states comparing oneself with someone in the same job within the organization clarifies that job equity focuses on direct comparisons among employees doing similar work under the same organizational policies and practices. This allows employees to gauge whether they feel fairly treated based on their contributions and outcomes compared to those in identical roles.

This internal comparison is essential for fostering a sense of fairness and can significantly impact morale and motivation, as employees that perceive inequity may feel demotivated or less valued. Other choices, while relevant in certain contexts (such as comparing with individuals in different roles or different organizations), do not specifically address the concept of job equity as it pertains to direct comparisons of job roles within the same organizational framework.
