Billy Bunter is a highly skilled and self$-$confident employee working for Lifco. He knows that if he puts in effort, he will show excellent performance. However, he is not very motivated to put in effort. He feels that while on paper the company offers great rewards for excellent performance, in reality rewards go only to people the boss favors personally, and he does not stand a chance of getting the reward. Using expectancy theory, we would expect:

Billy's motivation is low because he does not value the rewards offered.

Billy is not motivated because his efort$-$performance $(E-P)$ expectancy is close to zero.

Billy's motivation is low because he has a bad boss.

Billy is not motivated because his performance$-$outcome $(P-O)$ expectancy is close to zero.
