Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bryan's instrumentality, or the belief that his performance will lead to the promised reward (20 percent raise), is low because he did not receive the promised raise despite meeting his production goals. This is likely to impact his motivation and expectation of receiving rewards in the future. Valence, or the perceived value or attractiveness of the rewards, is not discussed in the scenario. Expectancy, or the belief that increased effort will result in improved performance, is also not relevant to the situation.
