Question

Employees will evaluate an opportunity by first determining if they think they can achieve it; then, they make some determination as to whether they will be rewarded for their effort; and lastly, they think about the type of reward that would be worth their effort. The thought process described here follows the principles of _______ theory.

Answer 1

Answer: Expectancy theory

Explanation: As per expectancy theory, individual will act in a certain behavior as he or she has a perception that performing such a behavior will get them the desired results.

Hence if the employees of an organisation once believe that they can achieve a task they will automatically work hard to achieve it.

Thus, we can conclude that the employees are following expectancy theory.
