Expectancy theory
1 Expectancy theory proposes that an individual will decide to behave or
act in a certain way because they are motivated to select a specific
behavior over other behaviors due to what they expect the result of that
selected behavior will be

Expectancy theory
1 Expectancy theory is about the mental processes regarding choice,
or choosing. It explains the processes that an individual undergoes to make
choices. In the study of organizational behavior, expectancy
theory is a motivation theory first proposed by Victor Vroom of the Yale
School of Management.

Expectancy theory - Author
1 In 1964, Vroom developed the Expectancy theory through his study of the motivations behind decision
making. His theory is relevant to the study of management. Currently,
Vroom is a John G. Searle Professor of Organization and Management at the
Yale University School of Management.

Expectancy theory - Key elements
1 Vroom introduces three variables within the expectancy theory which are valence (V), expectancy (E) and
instrumentality (I)

1 Expectancy Theory of motivation can help managers understand how
individuals make decisions regarding various behavioral alternatives. The model below shows the direction of
motivation, when behavior is energized:

Expectancy theory - Management
1 Expectancy Theory, though well known in work motivation literature,
is not as familiar to scholars or practitioners outside that field.

Expectancy theory - Models of Teacher Expectancy Effects
1 These findings are particularly relevant because they show a form of the expectancy theory and how teachers have certain expectations of students and how they treat the
students differently because of those expectations.

Expectancy theory - Criticisms
1 Edward Lawler claims that the simplicity of expectancy theory is
deceptive because it assumes that if an employer makes a reward, such as a financial bonus or promotion, enticing enough, employees will
increase their productivity to obtain the reward

Expectancy theory - Criticisms
1 Lawler argues that since there have been a variety of developments of
expectancy theory since its creation in 1964; the expectancy model needs
to be updated

Expectancy theory - Criticisms
1 Instead of just looking at expectancy and instrumentality, W.F. Maloney and J.M. McFillen found that expectancy theory could explain the
motivation of those individuals who were employed by the construction industry. For instance, they used worker expectancy and
worker instrumentality. Worker expectancy is when supervisors create an equal match between the worker and their job. Worker
instrumentality is when an employee knows that any increase in their performance leads to
achieving their goal.

Expectancy theory - Criticisms
1 In a chapter entitled "On the Origins of Expectancy Theory" published in Great Minds in Management by Ken G. Smith and Michael A. Hitt, Vroom himself agreed with some of these
criticisms and stated that he felt that the theory should be expanded to
include research conducted since the original publication of his book.

Expectancy theory - Related theories
1 Expectancy Theory of Motivation (Porter & Lawler, 1968; Vroom, 1964) is one of the
process theories. This theory is a model of behavioral choice, that is, as an explanation
of why individuals choose one behavioral option over others. In doing so, it explains
the behavioral direction process. It does not attempt to explain what motivates
individuals, but rather how they make decisions to achieve the end they value.

Work motivation - Expectancy theory
1 According to Vroom's Expectancy Theory, an employee will work
smarter and/or harder if he believes his additional efforts will lead to
valued rewards. Expectancy theory explains this increased output of effort by means of the equation

Work motivation - Expectancy theory
1 Expectancy theory has been shown to have useful applications in designing a reward
system

Work motivation - Expectancy theory
1 Expectancy theory posits employee satisfaction to be an outcome of
performance rather than the cause of performance

Work motivation - Expectancy theory
1 Expectancy theory has been shown to have greater validity in research in
within-subject designs rather than between-subjects designs. That is, it is more useful in predicting how an
employee might choose among competing choices for their time and
energy, rather than predicting the choices two different employees
might make.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-expectancy-theory-toolkit.html
Employee motivation - Vroom's expectancy theory
1 The expectancy theory of motivation was established by Victor Vroom with the belief that motivation is based on the expectation of desired outcomes

Language expectancy theory
1 'Language Expectancy Theory' ('LET') is a theory of persuasion.M. Burgoon and Miller, 1985; M. Burgoon, Hunsaker Dawson, 1994; M. Burgoon, Jones Stewart, 1975 The theory assumes language is a rules-based system, in which people develop expected norms as to
appropriate language usage in given situationsM. Burgoon and Miller. 1985
Furthermore, unexpected linguistic usage can affect the receiver's behavior resulting from
attitudes towards a persuasive message.

Language expectancy theory - Violations
1 Usually people use language to conform to social norms; but a person's intentional
or accidental deviation from expected behavior can have either a positive or
negative reaction.Language Expectancy Theory assumes that language is a rule-
governed system and people develop expectations concerning the language or message strategies employed by others in persuasive attempts (Burgoon, 1995)

Language expectancy theory - Summary of Propositions
1 Language expectancy theory is based on 17 propositions. Those
propositions can be summarized as listed below:

Irving Kirsch - Response expectancy theory
1 Kirsch’s response expectancy theory is based on the idea that what people experience depends partly on what they expect to
experience. According to Kirsch, this is the process that lies behind the placebo effect and hypnosis. The theory is supported by research showing that both subjective and physiological responses can be altered by changing people’s expectancies. The theory has been applied to
understanding pain, depression, anxiety disorders, asthma, addictions, and psychogenic
illnesses.
