Expectancy Models of Job Satisfaction, Occupational Preference and Effort: A Theoretical, Methodological and Empirical Appraisal.

Abstract

The development and refinement of expectancy theory is described. The empirical support for the valence and effort models is reviewed. The findings indicate more support for the former model than the latter one. A number of methodological, empirical and theoretical issues are raised and discussed. (Modified author abstract)
