Vroom's expectancy theory of motivation posits that an individual's motivation is the product of three factors: expectancy (belief that effort will lead to desired performance), instrumentality (belief that performance will lead to a reward), and valence (value of the reward to the individual). Therefore, the correct equation is Motivation = Expectancy x Instrumentality x Valence.
