 The expectancy theory of motivation was suggested by <\/span>Victor Vroom<\/a><\/b>. Unlike Maslow, Vroom does not concentrate on needs as motivational factors, but rather he focuses on outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This theory argues that the tendency to behave in a particular way depends on the strength of an expectation that the behaviour or act will be followed by a given outcome and the attractiveness or value of that outcome to that person. In short, this is where someone does something because they expect a certain desired outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas Maslow and Herzberg look at the relationship between internal needs and the resulting effort expended to fulfil them, Vroom’s expectancy theory separates effort (which arises from motivation), performance, and outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vroom’s expectancy theory assumes that behaviour results from conscious choices among alternatives whose purpose is to maximise pleasure<\/i> and to minimise pain<\/i>. Vroom realised that an employee’s performance is based on individual factors such as personality<\/a>, skills, knowledge, experience and abilities. He stated that effort, performance and motivation are linked in a person’s motivation. He uses the variables Expectancy, Instrumentality and Valence to account for this.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
