Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reinforcement is not a component of expectancy theory. Expectancy theory, developed by Victor Vroom, focuses on how individual motivation is affected by expectancy (belief that effort will lead to performance), instrumentality (belief that performance will lead to outcomes), and valence (value of the outcomes). Reinforcement is a concept more closely associated with behaviorism and involves strengthening a behavior by providing a consequence after the behavior is exhibited.
