One theory that explains employee motivation, which leads to more engagement in teamwork and enhances overall productivity, is Vroom's ExpectancyTheory of Motivation. In fact, a study by the Hay Group foun d that engaged employees can generate 43% more revenue.
This post is the third in a series on motivation theory. Expectancytheory attempts to explain the mental processed of choice or choosing. The theory itself was first proposed by Victor Vroom, who served as a professor at Yale School of Management. These elements are: valence, instrumentality and expectancy.
Expectancytheory seemed to resonate. Work your way up Maslow’s hierarchy. If you need sleep and food, get that first. It’s hard to be motivated to change the world if you’re exhausted. Set Achieveable Goals. Create a Support Network. Don’t try to do this alone.
Expectancytheory is a theory in psychology that is the basis for most of the work I do. Expectancytheory states “that which you focus on expands.” We have a tendency to be quick to dismiss our successes and strengths, and really zero in on our mistakes and shortcomings.
Expectancytheory attempts to explain the mental processed of choice or choosing. The theory itself was first proposed by Victor Vroom, who served as a professor at Yale School of Management. These elements are: valence, instrumentality and expectancy. Expectancytheory presents a formula for motivation.
Victor Vroom’s work on expectancytheory supports the concept that employees must know what action they are expected to take and that it will yield the desired performance. Your employees should understand what they are expected to do, how they are expected to do it, and how they will be judged on it.
Path-goal theory is half leadership, half motivational theory. It was developed to explain how leaders motivate their followers toward a determined end.
Expectancytheory tells us incentives work when task performance is easily related to the reward, and the reward is desired. Those jobs call for transactional leadership, a.k.a., incentives. It’s a standard rule of organizational psychology: that which gets measured gets done; rewarded gets done better (or more often).
More than 50 years ago, the psychologist Victor Vroom developed what he called expectancytheory to explain how extrinsic motivation works and to diagnose whether or not your plan is working properly. But not every extrinsic motivation scheme, not every incentive compensation plan that we draw up properly motivates people.
The Path-Goal Theory of Leadership was developed in the mid-’70s by Martin G. House and draws heavily on an earlier theory by Victor Vroom called the ExpectancyTheory. Evans and Robert J.

Another quote: " Rational expectationstheory has brought macroeconomics a long way. Buuut "atomistic rational agents [the figures that populate DSGE models] don't capture behavior during a crisis." but there is a clear case to reexamine the assumptions."
In this case, the award has been given for work that shores up a fiction of economics—rational expectationstheory—that is complicit in the financial crisis and has been renounced even by Alan Greenspan.
