In Ch. 7 we learned about the expectancy theory. It states that a person is motivated if they believe: 1. they are able to complete the task 2. the task will be rewarded 3. they value the reward. A good example of that is Lebron James. When he made his decision to go to Miami his goal was to win multiple championships. According to this theory he should be very motivated. He went there to win the championships so he obviously believes he can complete the task. If it were about money he would have stayed in Cleveland. The task would be rewarding to anyone. Who wouldn't want to have several championship rings? He would value the reward because he knows the only way for anyone to seriously compare him to the greatest players who have ever played the game is if he wins a few rings.
