Step-by-step explanation:

The expectancy theory is an interesting theory of motivation. This theory believes that people, in general, behave the way they do in a certain way because they are motivated to achieve a common objective.

Since the main focus here is to read the motivation report and help Matt write an e-mail that will motivate Jayden. Remember, we are told he is motivated by learning new things, hence a sample email could read;

Hi, Jayden I would like to commend you for the work you do here at the company, you are truly one of our best employees. I would assign you to a new role at the company, and there is a possibility of reassigning you to better roles in the future.
