Assumption of Expectancy Theory Indeed if employees are highly demotivated and there are not goals, no rewards, and no expected outcomes, like in the case of learned helplessness, as a manager you first have to take action to spark some initial level of motivation and work from there.
Until that is done, expectancy theory is still valid, because it helps to understand why nothing much will happen and it is likely that the employee will not be motivated to do anything.
⇨Are there any other assumptions underlying expectancy theory?

Another Issue with Expectancy Theory Another issue with Expectancy Theory is: What is the distinguishing ratio?
My problem with this theory is that there is no distinguishing ratio as to the level of performance that leads to a particular outcomes.
For example, how do you rate coming late to work between someone that lives nearby to someone that lives far away?
