Question 2

Gary was told that he could be promoted to Marketing Manager if the team could launch three new products in the next year. He likes the title and would love the 20,000 per year raise. But the team has never launched more than one product in a year before, so it seems highly unlikely they could launch three. According to expectancy theory, what is Gary's likely response?
A) He will not be motivated, because the outcome seems unlikely.
B) He will not be motivated, because the outcome is something he doesn't want.
C) He will not be motivated, because he perceives inequity in that title.
D) He will be motivated purely because of the title and pay raise.
E) He will be motivated because recognition is a maintenance factor.
