The purpose of this study is to discover if occupational preferences have any bearing on whether, or not, individuals decide to pursue entrepreneurial careers. Specifically, this paper seeks to determine if cognitive occupational expectancies (concerning perceived intrinsic and extrinsic occupational rewards) significantly influence plans to undertake entrepreneurship as a primary vocation. Past theory has determined relevant entrepreneurial rewards to be the intrinsic reward of independence, the intrinsic reward of a satisfying way of life, and the extrinsic reward of profit. Preference for each of these rewards is examined by utilizing the Valence Model of the Expectancy Theory. Findings indicate that individuals who perceive entrepreneurship as advantageous based on their attraction ...
We investigate the effects of monetary incentives on accounting student motivation. Using a within-persons decision modeling approach and Russian accounting student participants to investigate potential motivators, we find students with monetary incentives p laced significantly less emphasis on their overall grade-point average and significantly more emphasis on esteem in the eyes of classmates. Our results suggest monetary incentives do not undermine personal satisfaction, an intrinsic motivator. Finally, in the context of improving course performance, we find students with monetary incentives tend to value the attractiveness of academic success over the expectancy of success in making their effort-level decisions, whereas students without monetary incentives tend to value the expectan...

This paper presents research from various disciplines and various settings revealing counter-intuitive results deriving from the use of rewards. It is hypothesized that these results obtain by virtue of the salience of the reward - contrary to models such as expectancy theory which suggest that to be effective, rewards must be salient. A salient reward distracts the subject from fully engaging in the process required to obtain the reward: shortcutting. The reward also seems to interfere with a person's need for autonomy. A model is proposed for understanding the effects of incentives as major components of compensation systems. This model relates the negative effects of reward contingency on three organizational outcomes: in-role performance, extra-role performance, and turnover.
Mass-circulation magazines were analyzed for the frequency and nature of advertising portrayals of Asian Americans, along several dimensions related to the "model minority" stereotype. Findings were compared with those for African Americans and Hispanics. Despite some improvement in the frequency and scope of representation, the presence of Asian Americans is still limited to narrowly defined stereotypical roles. Logistic regression analyses provided further support for the findings. Drawing on both cultivation and expectancy-violation theory frameworks, the authors suggest that, to the extent that the stereotype is reflected and reinforced through advertising, biased and undue expectations may be formed, resulting in negative consequences for the group members.

Entrepreneurship and the development of new business continue to be the forefront of socioeconomic development in virtually all economies today. Despite evidence of increasing research into entrepreneurial growth, the existing research is limited by the fact that most studies define entrepreneurial growth as a unidimensional construct and operationalize it as "realized" growth relying on financially based measures. Consequently, this article has two objectives: (1) to develop a set of accurate and comprehensive entrepreneurial growth measures; and (2) to test a series of hypotheses regarding precursors of growth intentions-more specifically, to what extent, infrastructure factors affect entrepreneurial growth intentions. These two questions were examined using Entrepreneurial Profile Qu...
