Explanation:

With reference to the expectancy theory, when pay is based on factors other than performance, such as seniority, the Performance-reward relationship tends to be weak.

Expectancy theory: It is theory of motivation which advocate that employee should rewarded on the basis of performance and reward should be higher and known to the employee earlier, which motivate to perform well and put more effort in the task given as they know what would be the reward. The reward could be vacation, day off, salary hike, etc. The reward structure should also be clear with defined goal and transparent evaluation. Tenure of the employee should not be the major factor for pay hike, as it weaken the performance of employee.
