Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to expectancy theory, motivation increases when individuals have a belief that their effort will lead to improved performance (E-to-P expectancy) and that performance will lead to desired outcomes (P-to-O expectancy). By introducing a training program that improves employees' knowledge and skills, the company is improving their E-to-P expectancy. By implementing a performance-based reward system, the company is improving employees' P-to-O expectancy. Therefore, the combination of these practices is likely to improve employee motivation.
