Hi Shadav,

I think this explains article explains it in a simple way: https://www.dummies.com/careers/project-ma...tification-exam

VROOM’S EXPECTANCY THEORY
Victor Vroom states that “intensity of work effort depends on the perception that an individual’s effort will result in a desired outcome.” Employees are motivated when they believe the following:

Putting in more effort will yield better job performance.

Better job performance will lead to organizational rewards, such as an increase in salary or benefits.

These predicted organizational rewards are valued by the employee.

The theory supports the concept of the reward being tied to performance, and ensuring that the reward is what the employee wants. It emphasizes the links between behavior, rewards, and the organization’s goals.

Two aspects to it are motivation increases when we expect to be rewarded for achieving a goal but also that the goal is achievable and the reward will actually be given.
