Tyrell Corporation is seeking to promote an employee to vice president of sales. In order to apply for the position, employees are asked to write a résumé, provide a ten-minute sales demonstration, speak for ten minutes about why the company’s services should be enlisted by clients, and answer five questions before a panel of six executives who will not give feedback during any part of the interview. If an employee passes the first part of the interview process, they are passed on to the second phase which requires trying to sell the company’s services to individuals on a contact list provided by Tyrell Corporation. If the employee passes this portion of the process, they undergo phone interviews by three of the company’s executives in other cities. Each portion of the interview process is scored and the employee with the highest score receives the promotion. Nina submitted her résumé, prepared the demonstration, and studied the most-asked interview questions, but was not sure she really wanted the position because it involved a lot of travel and she had a small child. Niles prepared all of the paperwork, the presentation, studied the most-asked interview questions, and practiced his presentation and answers until he had them memorized and could present them smoothly. He really liked to travel and looked forward to the higher pay and the ability to travel with someone else paying the costs. He feels confident he can get the promotion and excel at it. Which of the following theories explains why it is most likely that Niles rather than Nina will be granted the promotion?
