Vroom's expectancy theory of motivation states that an individual's motivation to perform a task is based on their expectancy (the belief that increased effort will lead to better performance), instrumentality (the belief that better performance will lead to the desired outcome), and valence (the value placed on the desired outcome). The correct equation to represent this theory is Motivation = expectancy X instrumentality X valence.
