Expectancy theory

Another way Expectancy Violations Theory is flawed is that it often does not assume that a violation is positive. A huge fault in the theory is that it assumes that most violations are negative. Typically when you hear someone say “I feel violated” one would automatically assume that it was a negative violation. Contrary to a widespread belief…

In my point of view, the expectancy theory is the best among other theories, because it proposes that people will choose how to behave depending on the outcomes they aimed for as a result of their behavior. We might see examples of expectancy theory in every single field, such as business, military and education. For example, I know a Navy captain in the Turkish Naval Academy, trying to be the dean. The commander of the Naval Training and Education Command will decide who is going to be the dean…

customer satisfaction concept is the Expectancy Confirmation Theory (alternatively ECT or expectation disconfirmation theory). The structure of this theory was developed in a series of two papers written by Richard L. Oliver in 1977 and 1980. Expectation confirmation theory is a cognitive theory which seeks to explain post purchase or post-adoption satisfaction as a function of expectations, perceived performance, and disconfirmation of beliefs. This theory was developed by Oliver, who proposed…

in their Expectancy–Value Theory of Achievement Motivation. The theory aims to explain the behavior of individuals through their expectancies or motives (Fishbein, 1974) but specifically with achievement motivation (Eccles et al., 2000). The theory suggested that individuals with high expectancy rate (ability beliefs, expectancies for success, and subjective task values) will more likely to predict high level individual achievement. On the other hand, individuals with low rate of expectancy will…

Expectancy Theory As stated in the text, the Expectancy Theory proposes that, “people are motivated when they believe they can accomplish the task, they will get the reward, and the rewards for doing the task are worth the effort” (91). As I explained in my vision, I am a firm believer in this theory and I feel that I can relate to what it suggests. There are three variable conditions that must be met in order for motivation to take place, according to this theory. Expectancy, “refers to the…

Johnson uses Expectancy Violation Theory and violation valence to explain how people perceive swearing, specifically in the workplace. Johnson notes that the basic premise of EVT is that individuals enter into an interaction with expectancies about how each person will behave; when these expectancies are violated, individuals experience arousal. A central tenet of EVT is that this arousal can be either positive or negative in valence. This is any behavior that falls outside a range of…

Vroom’s Theory (1964) developed the Expectancy Theory of Motivation. Vroom’s theory is based on behavior of an individual at work and having positive performance will lead to desirable rewards. Vroom states that “an employee’s performance is based on individual factors such as personality, skills, knowledge, experience, and ability” (p. 347). Figure 3.4 will illustrate the three components to this theory: expectancy, instrumentality, and valance. The variables of Vroom’s (1964) theory are…

Vroom’s Model of Expectancy Theory What is Vroom’s model of expectancy theory and what are the factors that make an individual act the way they do? We will discuss some of the factors that make individuals act the way they do. Is it that of low self esteem or high challenges in a new job? Having the mind-set to walk into a new job with confidence and knowing you are qualified for the job and will be very successful at it will help your employer know they hired the right person for the job.…

The word Theory is defined as a set of propositions, assumptions or facts that provides a plausible or rational explanation of casual relationships between groups of observed events. In other words it is a fact or principle that is presented as true but not known or proven to be true. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/theory) From the Greek word ‘Thoros’ (spectator) the origin of the world stresses that all theories are mental models of the anticipated reality. There are many types of…
