Juan's belief that his personal successes will not benefit him and if there is any benefit, it will be very small shows that he has low motivation according to Vroom's expectancy theory. The theory suggests that for an individual to be motivated, they must have the expectancy that their efforts will lead to a certain level of performance and that this performance will result in certain outcomes or rewards that have a positive valence. Juan's belief that his efforts will not lead to rewards with significant valence indicates low motivation.
