===Expectancy theory===
{{Main|Expectancy theory}}
Expectancy theory was proposed by Victor H. Vroom in 1964. Expectancy theory explains the behavior process in which an individual selects a behavior option over another, and why/how this decision is made in relation to their goal.

There's also an equation for this theory which goes as follows:
::<math>{\text{M}}= {\text{E}} \times {\text{I}} \times {\text{V}}</math> or
::<math>{\text{Motivation}}= {\text{Expectancy}} \times {\text{Instrumentality}} \times {\text{Valence}}</math><ref name="analytictech.com">{{cite web |title = Theories of Motivation |url = http://www.analytictech.com/mb021/motivation.htm |website = analytictech.com }}</ref>
* M (Motivation) is the amount an individual will be motivated by the condition or environment they placed themselves in, which is based on the following. Hence the equation.
* E (Expectancy) is the person's perception that effort will result in performance. In other words, it's the person's assessment of how well and what kind of effort will relate to better performance.
* I (Instrumentality) is the person's perception that performance will be rewarded or punished.
* V (Valence) is the perceived amount of the reward or punishment that will result from the performance."<ref name="analytictech.com"/>
