Vroom Theory

I am really stumped with this piece of information

The probability of reaching goal called Expectancy

The probability that the goal will actually produce the desired results called Instrumenality

The probability that the results are indeed desirable and satisfying called Valence

Motivation = Expectancy * Instrumentality * Valence


Who would have thunk that motivation can be reduced to a simple mathematical expression. And for those of you who want to look it up.. It IS called VROOM Theory
