What is the effects of personality on participation in decision-making? unsigned comment

Decision-making with regards to expectancy theory can be be entirely based on personality. Personality allows a person to successfully prioritize their motivations so that pleasure and effective results can be maximized, while ineffective and pain can be minimized. The three main variables of expectancy theory as described by the article are gross oversimplifications, however, do accurately touch on the general motivators for decision-making with regards to any personality. While personalities change dramatically from one person to another, the theory holds despite personality traits because of the relentless universal human need to be a valuable contributor of the world.

Sentences in immediate need of revision/replacement because they are not parsable .

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[reply]

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.

reference(#10) not available

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)[reply]

This whole paragraph

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)[reply]
