Expectancy Theory

Expectancy Theory
The motivation to completing something knows there are a start and an end due to the effort you put in. Which in return leads to high performance as looked upon by your peers with an eventual outcome. The need to reach an achievement, such as a day off for hard work or a monetary gain, is what starts motivation. The need than distinguishes the behavior needed in order to reach the need, high effort produces the outcome. Than because of the behavior put forth, the reward is obtained.
A motivation problem at work derives from a constantly changing final product that has no linear approach to finishing. When starting a project, the task is defined as this needs to be done and completed by this date. During the process, something changes and either the project is taken into a new direction, scratched, or starts over from scratch. It’s a constant occurrence when every concert tour that comes through needs customized video equipment systems and cable packages. The motivation problem is starting a project and knowing that the work you put in is just going to change at the end.
Will putting the effort into the task lead to the performance?
(E > P) The problem comes from you thinking that no matter how much work you put in, it’s just going to be a matter of time when something has to be changed. It doesn’t matter if you put in the maximum amount of effort, when it’s just going to be a waste of time because of an edit. The original goal will not be reached and a lot of time would have been wasted.
Will high performance lead to the desired outcome?
(P > O) High performance through all the changes will lead to an eventual outcome, but won’t receive much recognition for completing for the goal. It equals to 5 different changes, 5 different goals, all to complete 1 goal. More time is put forth, not much recognition or any rewards are offered for possibly staying all night to accommodate the changes.
Are the available outcomes highly valued?...
