Expectancy Theory is a general theory that helps frame and diagnose motivational situations.
This theory was developed by Victor Vroom in his 1964 book titled “Work and Motivation.”
Expectancy theory is one of the most popular motivational theories
because it focuses on three key aspects of motivation: inputs, performance, and outcomes.
Vroom posited that motivation is high when workers believe that high levels of effort
lead to performance and high performance leads to attainment of desired outcomes.
