2. Instrumentality. Performance -> Outcome (P -> O)

3. Valence. Outcome -> Reward (V(R))

Expectancy is the belief that if you work hard (effort) you will be able to

THEORY OF EXPECTANCY
Expectancy Theory of Motivation was
developed by Victor H. Vroom in 1964
and extended by Porter and Lawler in 1968.
The theory is based on the assumption that
our behaviour is based on making a
conscious choice from a set of possible
alternative behaviours.
Expectancy Theory, the behaviour we
choose will always be the one that maximises
our pleasure and minimises our pain.
