Based on your understanding of expectancy theory, (see Mini Lecture by Caldwell, and your text author Scandura, 2016, pp. 182-185)

1. Provide either an example in your own life, the life of another person, or a hypothetical example where expectancy theory explained motivation or lack of motivation. Be sure to tie each part of your story to one or more of the three components of the model. You can share a success story where all components had a probability of occurring or you can share a story in which one of the components was at "zero thus taking away motivation.
2. What was done or could have been done to restore that component to a positive number?
3. Please be sure to respond to at least one of your classmate's posts.
4. Don't forget to cite your work both in the body of your post and provide a full reference at the end so we can all find it easily.
