 Incubus

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast the truth
Don’t want to lose what I had as a boy
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat
As common as a cold day in L.A.

Sometimes when I’m alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing

Love hurts
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
‘cause without love I won’t survive

I’m fettered and abused
Stand naked and accused
Should I surface, this one-man submarine?
I only want the truth!
So tonight we drink to youth!
I’ll never lose what I had as a boy

Sometimes when I’m alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
‘cause without love I won’t survive

Without love I won’t survive

Love hurts
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
‘cause without love I won’t survive

Love hurts, ohhh-oh ohh
Love hurts
Without love I won’t survive
Love hurts la-la-la-la-la-la oh
Love hurts
Without love I won’t survive

Quotes:

I like the message of the song. Whew, specially this part "Love hurts But sometimes it’s a good hurt And it feels like I’m alive ‘cause without love I won’t survive it burns me alive!". hehehe peace out!!!emoticon

Expectancy theory

March 23, 2009
     Expectancy theory is about choice. It explains the processes that an individual undergoes to make choices. In organizational behavior study, expectancy theory is a motivation theory first proposed by Victor Vroom of the Yale School of Management.
 
Expectancy theory predicts that employees in an organization will be motivated when they believe that:
  • putting in more effort will yield better job performance 
  • better job performance will lead to organizational rewards, such as an increase in salary or benefits
  • these predicted organizational rewards are valued by the employee in question.
"This theory emphasizes the need for organizations to relate rewards directly to performance and to ensure that the rewards provided are those rewards deserved and wanted by the recipients."
 
- Emphasizes self interest in the alignment of rewards with employee’s wants. - Emphasizes the connections among expected behaviors, rewards and organizational goals
 
Vroom’s theory assumes that behavior results from conscious choices among alternatives whose purpose it is to maximize pleasure and to minimize pain. Together with Edward Lawler and Lyman Porter, Vroom suggested that the relationship between people’s behavior at work and their goals was not as simple as was first imagined by other scientists. Vroom realized that an employee’s performance is based on individual factors such as personality, skills, knowledge, experience and abilities.
 
Victor H. Vroom introduces three variables within the expectancy theory which are valence (V), expectancy (E) and instrumentality (I). The three elements are important behind choosing one element over another because they are clearly defined : effort-performance expectancy(E>P expectancy), performance-outcome expectancy (P>O expectancy).
 
E>P expectancy: Our assessment of the probability our efforts will lead to the required performance level.
P>O expectancy: Our assessment of the probability our successful performance will lead to certain outcomes.
 
Vroom’s model is based on three concepts:
  1. Valence - Strength of an individual’s preference for a particular outcome. For the valence to be positive, the person must prefer attaining the outcome to not attaining it.
  2. Instrumentality – Means of the first level outcome in obtaining the desired second level outcome; the degree to which a first level outcome will lead to the second level outcome.
  3. Expectancy - Probability or strength of belief that a particular action will lead to a particular first level outcome.
Vroom says the product of these variables is the motivation.
 
In order to enhance the performance-outcome tie, managers should use systems that tie rewards very closely to performance. Managers also need to ensure that the rewards provided are deserved and wanted by the recipients. In order to improve the effort-performance tie, managers should engage in training to improve their capabilities and improve their belief that added effort will in fact lead to better performance.emoticon
