An examination of the relative predictive accuracy of three versions of the Vroom model of motivational force using within-subject and across-subject analysis
Three valence versions of the model of work motivation described in 1964 by Victor Vroom in Work and Motivation were examined with respect to their relative abilities to predict work effort. The examination was carried out under both the across-subjects and within-subject theoretical assumptions. …
