Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cliff's belief that he can't be fired and that promotion is only possible if someone above him leaves indicates a low effort-to-performance expectancy, meaning he doesn't believe his efforts will lead to better job performance. Additionally, his belief that promotion is dependent on external factors indicates a low performance-to-outcome expectancy, meaning he doesn't believe better job performance will lead to the desired outcome of promotion.
