Vroom’s expectancy theory states that employees will do what they can

QUESTION

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER

Answer:
1. Will I be able to accomplish a certain task?
2. If I accomplish the task, what is the reward?
3. How much do I want the reward?
Explanation: Vroom states that people conduct assessments or calculations to decide whether to work on a task. Taking the form of three questions, the calculations are labeled expectancy (ability to do the task), instrumentality (reward for doing the task), and valence (desirability of the reward).
