According to Vroom's Theory of Motivation, Force describes the amount of effort one will exert to
reach one's goal. Valence speaks to the level of attractiveness or unattractiveness of the goal.
Expectancy is the perceived possibility that the goal will be achieved. Vroom's Theory of Motivation
can be demonstrated in the form of an equation: Force = Valence × Expectancy (Vroom, 1964). The
theory proposes that this equation can help to predict the motivation, or force, of an individual as
described by Vroom.
