3) What is Vrooms Theory of Expectations?

(5)
Victor H. Vroom believed that people will go for a goal if they find it is worth the efforts involved in doing
so. Thus, they will be motivated to the extent its value (valance) is worth the expectancy (drive) to achieve
it (Force = valance x expectancy). If people conceive that it is difficult to achieve or it is not worth to
achieve, they will not have the drive or motivation to achieve. Thus, an individuals needs and motivations
are linked.
