Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The introduction of training and a performance-based reward system can improve both E-to-P (effort-to-performance) expectancies and P-to-O (performance-to-outcome) expectancies. 
Training increases the employee's belief that their increased skills and knowledge will lead to better performance (E-to-P expectancies). 
A performance-based reward system will increase the employee's belief that better performance will lead to higher rewards (P-to-O expectancies). As a result, both E-to-P and P-to-O expectancies are improved, leading to improved employee motivation.
