Question

Relate the McClelland’s theory to the worker’s behavior?

Answer 1

his 3 points relates to:

achievement motivation, power motivation, affiliation motivation

its a mix and blend of these 3 factors that wld lead to productivity, better attitude, performance

its noted achievement motivation is more important than material or financial reward.

achieving the aim or task gives greater personal satisfaction than receiving praise or recognition.

financial reward is regarded as a measurement of success, not an end in itself.

security is not prime motivator, nor is status.

feedback is essential, because it enables measurement of success, not for reasons of praise or recognition (the implication here is that feedback must be reliable, quantifiable and factual).

achievement-motivated people constantly seek improvements and ways of doing things better.

achievement-motivated people will logically favour jobs and responsibilities that naturally satisfy their needs, ie offer flexibility and opportunity to set and achieve goals, eg., sales and business management, and entrepreneurial roles.

affiliation motivation maybe detrimental as pple try to use their personal friendship to get things done or get away with it.

power motivation maybe detrimental if used excessively wthout consideration for EQ
