| Abstract: | The authors contrast the explanatory potential of four forms of expectancy theory. A behavioral decision-making theory approach was used where many subjects were asked to make as many job- choice decisions. Many more decisions were analyzed under a within-subject framework. Results show that a great majority of subjects employed additive or multiplicative expectancy models with linear valence functions. However, the predicative efficacy of the expectancy theory model was improved for the remaining minority. |
