Answer 1

Answer:

e) expectancy, instrumentality, and valence.

Explanation:

Victor Vroom developed what is called expectancy theory which explains employees will act a certain way if motivated by the expected goal that comes with the work.

The elements that awake this motivation are:

• Expectancy - expectation that the hard effort and the resolution will produce the expected and desired goal
• Instrumentality - the belief in the idea that hard effort and well-done work will produce the goal and result in the reward
• Valence - the wish for the reward and the value of the reward for the worker  

Multiplied, these elements all produce the desired motivation for hard work that results in good organization and accomplished job.
