Answer 1

The rank can be given as below=

Self-efficacy

Perceptions of equity

Increased expectancy, valence, and instrumentality

Specific, difficult goals

Reason= Self-efficacy indicates that the person has the confidence in perming the job and thus it motivates him more when he receives any task in which he has full expertise. The perception of equity indicates that all the people of the same level are treated equally so if there is no discrimination among the employees, it can result in a greater level of motivation.  expectancy, valence, and instrumentality indicate that the action will result in expected performance that will result in receiving some rewards, and instrumentality indicates that performance provided a given outcome. When the goals are quite clear and difficult to obtain, it motivates the individual.
