Question

According to the expectancy theory, which of the following relationships indicates the degree to which the individual believes that a particular level of output will lead to the attainment of a desired outcome? performance-achievement effort-performance performance-reward rewards-personal goals effort-satisfaction

Answer 1

ANSWER: The correct answer is PERFORMANCE-REWARD.

EXPLANATION: Expectancy theory explains that an individual will want to perform or react towards an action in a particular way, with the aim of achieving a desired or outcome.

Performance reward are the benefits, given to an individual who has worked in a particular way, in achieving a set goal. This is mostly what employees get in return after working for an employer.

Because an individual knows that a reward will be given if his/her performance can achieve a particular aim, the individual is tend to work tremendously to achieve the aim, and get the reward.

For example in football, Cristiano Ronaldo knows that if he trains to a particular level different from others, he will achieve the aim of playing fantastic from others, which the reward will be the world best player. This has motivated him to train more harder.
