Abstract

This chapter applies the expectancy theory framework to investigate work motivation among international students in Australia. Data obtained from 135 students using an online survey shows that expectancy, intrinsic instrumentality, and intrinsic valence enhance motivation among international students. However, extrinsic instrumentality and valance do not have a significant impact on motivation. The chapter sheds light on a subject that is predominantly understudied despite the economic contributions of international students to many economies through employment. The implications of this study relate to the creation of systems and policies that enhance expectancy and recognise and reward internal achievements so that the experience of international students can be improved.
