Victor Vroom's Expectancy Theory of motivation is based on three variables. A senior tax consultant at a Big Four firm in Abuja believes that working overtime will improve her performance appraisal score (Expectancy = 0.8), that a high appraisal score will lead to a promotion (Instrumentality = 0.7), and she values the promotion highly (Valence = 0.9). What is her motivational force score?

Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
Vroom's Motivational Force = Expectancy × Instrumentality × Valence = 0.8 × 0.7 × 0.9 = 0.504. This computation confirms option A. Options B, C, and D represent common arithmetic errors such as multiplying only two variables or using incorrect values.
