3. Needs for Achievement and Power

• Needs for Achievement and Power – employees differ in the extent to which they are motivated by the need for achievement, affiliation, and power
• Employees who have a strong need for affiliation are motivated by jobs in which they can work with and help other people
• Employees who have strong need for power are motivated by a desire to influence others rather than simply to be successful
• Employees who have strong need for achievement are motivated by jobs that are challenging and over which they have some control,
• employees who have minimal achievement needs are more satisfied when jobs involve little challenge and have a high probability of success
