Motivating individuals and groups
2.3 Process theories
Vroom’s expectancy theory
Vroom believed that people will only be motivated to do tasks if they are confident
that the tasks will help them to reach their goals.
Vroom’s theory can be stated as a formula:
Force = Valence x expectancy
where
force = the strength of a person’s motivation
valence = the strength of an individual’s preference for an outcome
expectancy = the probability of success
