Description
Summary:Studied V. Vroom's expectancy theory model in relation to work performance. 138 incentive workers employed in a steel fabricating plant participated in the study. The data indicate that the total expectancy model is a valid indicator of job performance, although the variances explained by the various parts of the theory were low. Several operational problems in defining the basic measures used in testing Vroom's theory are discussed.
