Provide four examples of how a human resources manger can use the expectancy theory to positive affect an organization
Expectancy theory says that it can bring positive effects in the organisation only when the workers believe that putting more effort will improve their job performance and their improved job performance will provide monetary/non monetray rewards and these rewards are valuable for the workers.
Things that a manager can do to have a positive outcome
are-
1. Linking performance with reward which means fixing up targets
and providing higher piece rate for the product or higher
incentives for meeting out the targets which is also called
productivity linked wages.
2. It is very important to know that what kind of reward or incentive a worker or an employee needs and the same should be implemented. If reward is not desired by the employees it will not lead to better performance.
3. The reward system should be fair and should reward the deserved so that the culture of equity is maintained and there are no grudges and complaints.
4. Every possible effort should be made to train the employees
and improve their capabilities. Workshops should be conducted to
bring a positive change in the mindset so that they are assured
that their efforts will be rewarded.
