Stated another way, people with high expectancy believe APPROACHES TO EXPLAINING that increased effort will lead to better MOTIVATION performance, but people with low expectancy do not believe that their efforts, no matter how great, will affect their performance. Instrumentality is a judgment about the connection the individual perceives (if any between task performance and possible outcomes. Making an instrumentality judgment entails asking the question, “If I perform this task successfully, is it likely to get me something I want (or something I 1. Need-Based Theories of don’t want)?

Although needs are internal states, they can be influenced by forces in Goal-Setting Theory contends that the environment. performance goals play a key role in motivation. The theory proposes that 2. Cognitive Process Theories of goals can mobilize employee effort, Motivation direct attention, increase persistence, and affect the strategies Expectancy theory, first proposed by employees use to accomplish tasks. Victor Vroom, assumes that motivation is a conscious choice process. According to this Goals influence an individual’s theory, people choose to put their effort into intentions, which are defined as the activities they believe they can perform that “cognitive representations of goals to will produce desired outcomes. Expectancy which the person is committed.” This theory argues that decisions about which commitment will continue to direct activities to engage in are based on the employee behavior until the goal is combination of three sets of beliefs: achieved or until a decision is made expectancy, instrumentality, and valence. to change or reject the goal.
