relatively equal attractiveness and some degree of indeterminacy. The matter of choice has been found to influence important psychological and behavioral outcomes. After an individual has effectively differentiated among
choice, personal control, and self-determination, they might then make a decision of choice, with self-determination as the key mechanism regulating how choice influences intrinsic motivation. The choice would suggest
specific types of choice-relevant information that should affect whether choice results in an internal (self-determined) or external (controlled) locus of causality. The individual characteristics of locus of control, self-presentation,
self-esteem, and Type A personality are suggested as possible moderators of the effects of choice" (Williams 465). Finally, the implications of the choice model for organizations and further areas
of research are discussed (Williams 465). VROOM S EXPECTANCY THEORY OF MOTIVATION The Valence model. As originally developed by Vroom (1964), expectancy
theory is made up of two related models--the valence model and the force model. The valance model "attempts to capture the perceived attractiveness, or valence, of an outcome by
aggregating the attractiveness of all associated resultant outcomes. More specifically, the model posits that the valence of a first-level outcome is equal to the summation of the products from
all associated second-level outcome valences, with the perceived belief (or instrumentality) that the first-level outcome will result in the second-level outcome" (Geiger 251). EXPECTANCY THEORY IMPACTS
Expectancy theory presents an approach as to how people are motivated and that examines the links between their effort and performance as well as between
their performance and outcome. Individuals evaluate the probabilities of these links. For example, what is the probability of effort leading to performance? And performance leading to some
