Feedback would be the best choice to help Ted improve his performance. By receiving feedback on his performance, Ted can better understand the areas where he needs to improve and determine the minimum standards he needs to meet in order to receive a larger pay increase. This will help him set goals and increase his goal commitment, which may lead to a better overall performance. Additionally, feedback can help him adjust his expectations (Expectancy) and determine the value (Valence) of achieving higher levels of performance. While Task Complexity may be a factor, it is not directly related to addressing the issue Ted faces with his performance compared to his colleagues.
