Question

Please respond to A-I, by stating which element of expectancy theory

Answer 1

Answer:

a- Lucia: worked hard to impress her boos with her reliability, creativity, and decision making skills. She really wants to qualify for an upcoming promotion which will give her the autonomy and empowerment she desires. (expectancy; instrumentality; valence)

Explanation:

The theory of expectations states that the motivation to perform a given activity is generated through the expectation that positive results will be achieved through that activity. In short, this theory generates motivation based on the anticipation of events that may or may not happen in the future, but they are good events and the possibility that they will occur is enough motivation to try.

An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Lucia worked hard to impress her boos with her skills of reliability, creativity and decision making. She really wants to qualify for a promotion that will give her the autonomy and power she wants and believes that by impressing her boss she will achieve this.
