Expectancy theory is most useful in predicting Ken's choice because it suggests that an individual's motivation to choose a particular behavior is based on the expectation that the behavior will lead to a desired outcome. In this case, Ken's choice will be based on which job offer he believes will lead to his desired outcome, such as career growth, salary, and job satisfaction. The other theories are not as relevant in predicting Ken's job offer choice.
