The significance of motivation in, and for
task performance has influenced many a theorist to develop hypotheses on (1)
sources of motivation, (2) contingencies for motivation, (3) essences of
motivation, and (4) results of motivation. Porter and Lawler, following in the
footsteps of Vroom, refined the Expectancy Theory, and one inference to be
drawn from their views on motivation is that task performance requires effort,
and effort is linked to unfolding potential. From an empirical investigation
that was undertaken with contractor facilitators in ABET at Rustenburg Section
of Anglo Platinum data which is in sync with Porter and Lawler’s Expectancy
Theory was garnered. Respondents indicated that leaders in ABET are
value-directed, and they understand where the organization wants to go [vision].
