Valence refers to the value an individual places on an expected outcome, meaning how much Abbi desires the rewards being offered by the company. Abbi's agreement that her motivational level is low suggests a low valence, as she may not find the current rewards motivating enough to increase her effort. The other options (E → P expectancy, O → P expectancy, Motivators, and O → E indicators) do not fully capture Abbi's reasoning for not wanting to work harder.
