What is the effects of personality on participation in decision-making? unsigned comment
Use this post to list sentences whose parts of speech cannot be deciphered which means you cannot revise/replace them yourself. 131.252.103.88 ( talk) 16:24, 26 September 2012 (UTC) James Johnson
1- In the first paragraph of the "computer users" section there is the following sentence: "The antecedents with previous computer experience ease of the system, and administrator support for they are linked to behavioral intentions to use the software through self-efficacy and outcome expectancy."
This sentence cannot be made sense of and needs immediate replacement not revision. I cannot do it because I cannot decipher the parts of speech.

Number 10 from the references listed in Notes section is not available. Also the paragraph that mentions it talks about a study done on computer useers motivation to use a new program at work without giving the date of the study. Without date given for the study AND the reference being unavailable, I belive the whole paragraph is only of marginal interest (information value) to the topic. 94.66.139.6 ( talk) 16:28, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Does not make much sense to me, especially the last two sentences of it:
"Instead of just looking at expectancy and instrumentality, W.F. Maloney and J.M. McFillen [14] found that expectancy theory could explain the motivation of those individuals who were employed by the construction industry. For instance, they used worker expectancy and worker instrumentality. Worker expectancy is when supervisors create an equal match between the worker and their job. Worker instrumentality is when an employee knows that any increase in their performance leads to achieving their goal." 94.66.139.6 ( talk) 16:55, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
The Expectancy section, namely the sentence:
Expectancy is the belief that one's effort (E) will result in attainment of desired performance (P) goals. Usually based on an individual's past experience, self-confidence (self efficacy), and the perceived difficulty of the performance standard or goal.

Expectancy theory proposes an individual will behave or act in a certain way because they are motivated to select a specific behavior over other behaviors due to what they expect the result of that selected behavior will be.
Yawn.
Expectancy theory proposes that an individual will act in accordance with the expected result of the behavior selected.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you read it here first that people act in accordance to what they think might happen next.
But seriously, what's the value add for all those extra words in the first version, besides anaesthetising comprehension so that the underlying tautology is less alarmingly bald? — MaxEnt 00:43, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
Me again, with a third version:
Expectancy theory proposes that people act in accordance with anticipated outcomes. At the core of the theory is the cognitive process of how an individual processes the different motivational elements.
This also eliminates the tedious second sentence, and shifts the focus to the specific cognitive unpacking that this theory entails. — MaxEnt 00:47, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
