First sentence: In the past, scholars examining the origins of work behavior have emphasized that instrumental considerations play an important role in the behavioral choices people make (Ambrose &amp; Kulik, 1999; Pinder, 1998; Steers, Porter &amp; Bigley, 1996), as they maximize their chances of obtaining desired outcomes (Vroom, 1964), try to establish equity (Mowday, 1979), or work to achieve specific goals (Locke &amp; Latham, 1990).
