Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Effort-to-performance expectancy refers to an employee's belief that their effort will lead to successful performance. Letting employees know that their chances of performing successfully are good increases their belief that their effort will lead to successful performance, and therefore increases their motivation. Convinving employees that poor performance will not be rewarded or rewarding employees with things they value would increase the valence component of motivation, while measuring valance more accurately would improve the accuracy of the valence component. While all options may improve employee motivation to some degree, D is the option that specifically addresses the effort-to-performance expectancy component of motivation.
