Expectancy theory states that motivation is determined by three variables: expectancy, instrumentality, and valence. Expectancy is the belief that effort will lead to performance. Instrumentality is the belief that performance will lead to rewards. Valence is the value of the rewards. Statements II, III, and IV all relate to expectancy. Statement II states that good grades and leadership skills generally lead to a good job. This implies that effort (good grades and leadership skills) will lead to performance (a good job). Statement III states that I am sure I'll pass the CPA exam on my first attempt. This implies that effort (studying for the CPA exam) will lead to performance (passing the CPA exam). Statement IV states that I can definitely complete my accounting degree within four years. This implies that effort (studying for the accounting degree) will lead to performance (completing the accounting degree within four years).
