Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Expectancy theory deals with valence and subjective estimates of the likelihood of events. It suggests that an individual's motivation is influenced by three factors: expectancy (belief that effort will lead to high performance), instrumentality (belief that high performance will lead to rewards), and valence (value placed on the rewards).

The other theories listed do not specifically deal with valence and subjective estimates of the likelihood of events. ERG theory focuses on three basic needs (existence, relatedness, and growth), while goal-setting theory emphasizes the importance of specific and challenging goals. Reinforcement theory concerns the relationship between behaviors and their consequences, and equity theory deals with perceptions of fairness in the distribution of rewards. Two-factor theory proposes that job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are caused by different factors. Maslow's needs hierarchy outlines the various needs that motivate human behavior.
