Nathan has been assigned a task for which he knows that he does not have the necessary skills or knowledge. However, he really wants the bonus he can earn by successfully completing the task. According to Expectancy Theory, Nathan will be highly motivated to complete the task.

A. True

B. False

Answer: B) False
