Victor Vroom's Expectancy Theory proposes that motivation results from conscious choices to maximize pleasure and minimize pain. The theory is based on three key elements: valence, which is one's preference for an outcome; instrumentality, which is the belief that performing a task leads to an outcome; and expectancy, which is the belief that effort will lead to completing a task. According to the theory, motivation is calculated as the product of valence, instrumentality, and expectancy. The theory has implications for managers in understanding what motivates employee performance.
Introduction to Vroom's Expectancy Theory; behavior is a choice to maximize pleasure and minimize pain. Key elements: Valence, Instrumentality, Expectancy.
Valence denotes emotional orientation towards outcomes. Varies from -1 (negative) to +1 (positive); positive valence is necessary for motivation.
Instrumentality is the belief that first-level outcomes lead to second-level outcomes, valued from 0 to 1. High instrumentality correlates with clear performance-reward links.
Expectancy represents belief that effort leads to task completion, ranging from 0 (no chance) to 1 (certainty). Higher expectancy correlates with stronger motivation.
Introduction to the concept of motivational force, though details are not provided.
Motivation is defined as the product of Valence, Instrumentality, and Expectancy, providing a framework for enhancing employee motivation.
An overview of how the components of Vroom's Expectancy Theory influence motivation.
