Answer 1

Answer: EXPECTANCY THEORY.

Explanation: The expectancy theory proposes that an individual will behave or act in a certain way because they are motivated to select a specific behavior over others due to what they expect the result of that selected behavior will be. In 1964, Victor H. Vroom developed the expectancy theory and defined motivation as a process governing choices among alternative forms of voluntary activities, a process controlled by the individual.
