Detailed explanation-1: -Valence refers to the emotional orientations people hold with respect to outcomes [rewards]. The depth of the want of an employee for extrinsic [money, promotion, time-off, benefits] or intrinsic [satisfaction] rewards).
Detailed explanation-2: -Valence is how much the outcome is valued, if at all. The more an employee values a certain reward, the more satisfied they will be with their efforts. A reward doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, it just has to be meaningful to the employee – whether that’s a bonus, extra time off or simply a bit of recognition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Valence is the importance that the individual places upon the expected outcome. For the valence to be positive, the person must prefer attaining the outcome to not attaining it. For example, if someone is mainly motivated by money, he or she might not value offers of additional time off.
Detailed explanation-4: -Expectancy: The belief that increased efforts will lead to better performance (E-> P). Instrumentality: The belief that if better performance is achieved, it will result in a certain outcome (P-> O). Valence: The significance or value expected of an outcome.
