The Porter-Lawler expectancy model of work motivation suggests that the relationship between an individual's effort, performance, and reward is not straightforward. Instead, it posits that the effort an individual is willing to put into a task is influenced by the perceived probability that the effort will lead to a desired performance level, and the value or attractiveness of the reward for achieving that performance. This model emphasizes the importance of both the perceived likelihood of receiving a reward for effort (expectancy) and the value of the reward (valence), preceding the actual performance and the rewards received, including the perception of whether those rewards are equitable.
