Definitions
Expectancy theory is a psychological theory that explains how individuals make decisions based on their expectations of the outcomes of their actions. It posits that people are motivated to act in a certain way if they believe that their efforts will lead to desired results, which are influenced by three key components: expectancy (the belief that effort will lead to performance), instrumentality (the belief that performance will lead to a reward), and valence (the value placed on the reward).
