Topics in Achievement Motivation

Meaning and Definitions of Motivation

  • Motivation comes from the word motive, which means a purpose, idea, or stimulus to do or not to do something.
  • Motivation can be positive or negative.
  • Positive motivation inspires individuals or employees.
2

Financial and Non-financial Motivators

  • Motivators are broadly of two types: financial and non-financial.
  • Financial motivators are monetary benefits given to employees.
  • Financial motivators are effective for a limited time because money stops motivating strongly after monetary needs are largely satisfied.

McClelland’s Three-Need Theory

  • David McClelland developed the three-need model.
  • His theory has three needs, unlike Maslow’s five needs.
  • The three needs are Need for Achievement, Need for Power, and Need for Affiliation.

  • Needs are arranged in order of preference.
  • A satisfied need stops motivating and the person moves to the next need.
