According to expectancy theory, increasing production quotas without providing the necessary resources or support to meet those quotas can lead to decreased motivation and effort from employees. Additionally, a small bonus may not be enough to motivate employees to meet these increased expectations. Therefore, Otto may actually see a decrease in employee productivity rather than an increase.
