Motivating your employees is one of the most vital managerial activities. An organization with motivated employees means a highly engaged, committed, and productive workforce. As a manager, you must be able to influence and guide the behavior of your employees. In other words, managers are responsible for motivating their employees. In order to do this, managers need to understand not only what drives their behavior but also what their employees want. The Expectancy Theory of Motivation explains the thought processes people go through as they decide on a current course of behavior. Understanding how the Expectancy Theory of Motivation works will enable managers to keep their employees invested in their jobs and the success of their organization. This activity is important because it allows students to better understand the elements associated with expectancy theory and how it can be used in a real-life situation. 1.
