Motivating Staff to Succeed A person’s motivation on any given task is a function of the formula: Expectancy x Value = Motivation Expectancy - the degree to which an individual expects to be successful at a task. Value - the degree to which an individual values the rewards that accompany that success. Oregon Housing and Community Services 8
