Abstract

This paper focuses on studying instrumentality as defined by Victor Vroom in his expectancy theory. Each element of expectancy theory may be influenced by the organizational context (through various aspects), which will lead in the end to influencing work motivation. This study presents the influence promotion and the reward system that local public institutions have on instrumentality and thus on the work motivation of civil servants. The research was conducted in the Brussels Region (Belgium) and the Northwest Region (Romania) by using both a quantitative and a qualitative research approach. The results indicate that both aspects influence instrumentality, but the influence type may vary. The aspects regarding promotion have a negative influence on instrumentality in the Brussels Region, a positive influence in the Northwest Region while the reward system influences instrumentality in a negative way in both analyzed regions.
