Bill is paid for the number of apples that he picks at apple wedge farms. Self-efficacy the belief that a person has the capabilities needed to perform the behaviours required on some task - shapes our expectancy or a particular task. (link between effort and performance) Instrumentality: the belief that successful performance will result in some outcome or outcomes: valence: the anticipated value of the outcomes associated with successful performance. Outcomes are better if they help satisfy needs: groupings or clusters of outcomes viewed as having critical psychological or physiological consequences: extrinsic motivation: desire to put forth work effort due to some contingency that depends on task performance.
