In the study of organizational behavior, expectancy theory is a theory of motivation first proposed by Victor Vroom. Expectancy theory predicts that employees in an organization will be motivated when they believe that:

  • putting in more effort will yield better job performance
  • better job performance will lead to organizational rewards, such as an increase in salary or benefits
  • these predicted organizational rewards are valued by the employee in question.
