Explanation:
The expectancy theory was developed by J.B. Rotter to explain why people behave the way they do. The theory suggests people take certain actions(behaviour) based on the outcome and value of that behaviour which has been informed by past experiences and learning.
Rotter classified people into two types: internals and externals. Internals according to Rotter are individuals who believe that happenings are a result of their own direct efforts. Externals, on the other hand believe things happen by such things as luck and cannot be controlled by them.
