Logan is an employee who processes health insurance forms. Initially he was criticized by his supervisor for sloppy work, but thereafter he improved considerably

Now he consistently processes his forms without errors and even does more than his fair share of work. However, Logan's supervisor has not responded to the extra effort he has put in, giving him no praise or monetary benefits. This leads Logan to believe that his supervisor is biased against him. According to the expectancy theory, in this situation, there is a problem in the ________ relationship.
A) rewards-personal goals
B) performance-awareness
C) performance-reward
D) performance-objectives
E) performance-achievement

C
Explanation: C) The performance-reward relationship is the degree to which the individual believes performing at a particular level will lead to the attainment of a desired outcome. Employees sometimes, rightly or wrongly, perceive the boss doesn't like them. As a result, they expect a poor appraisal, regardless of effort.
