Nash works for a landscaping business. His employer asked if he could work overtime this weekend to finish a job for a significant client. According to expectancy theory, Nash will want to compare the compensation or other rewards offered by his employer to the extra effort involved before he decides whether to agree to the job.

A. True

B. False

The given statement regarding Nash is True.

Explanation:

According to Expectancy Theory by Victor Vroom, people tend to behave in a certain way because they expect a reward/benefiting result. The theory is relevant to choices that humans make and the thought process behind it, that is, the motivation for making a particular choice.

In the case mentioned, Nash will make the choice of working overtime if he is getting a good reward, compensation in this case, for the extra hours he wil devote. If he feels that compensation matches his efforts, he will take up the job. Nash will have to consider other aspects if his employer is not giving him the desired reward.
