The motivation theory that suggests people are motivated by the reward they will receive when they succeed and that they weigh the value of the expected reward against the effort required to achieve it is known as what?

  1. Vroom's expectancy theory
  2. Adams' equity theory
  3. McClelland's acquired needs theory
  4. McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Answer option A is correct. Vroom explains his theory with three terms: expectancy (the individual's assessment of their ability to achieve the goal), instrumentality (whether the individual believes they are capable of achieving the goal), and valence (whether the anticipated goal is worth the effort required to achieve it). Adams' equity theory (B) states that people are constantly comparing what they put into work to what they get from it. McClelland's acquired needs theory (C) states that people are motivated by one of three factors: achievement, affiliation, or power. McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y (D) explain how managers relate to employees. Theory X managers are autocratic, believing that employees do not want to take responsibility. Theory Y managers encourage employees to participate in the decision-making process, believing that they respond to challenges. See Chapters 2 and 5 for more information.

The correlation coefficient is a statistical measurement that is useful for which of the following?

  1. Determining whether one variable affects another
  2. Compensating for data that may be out of date
  3. Determining which variables are outside acceptable ranges
  4. Describing standards of quality

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Answer option D is correct. The correlation coefficient is useful in determining whether two factors are connected. For example, the correlation coefficient will tell you whether an increase in resignations is related to a change in location of the worksite and, if so, whether the change had a strong impact on resignations. See Chapter 2 for more information. Chapter: Core Knowledge Requirements for HR Professionals Objective: Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis
