The achievement Motive

David Forbes

Chapter Chapter 10 in The Science of Why, 2015, pp 145-156 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Achievement is the most common and familiar of all the matrix motives. Being achievement-oriented is a common description on résumés, references, and job interviews. That’s because, at the end of the day, we are all motivated to achieve—whether it’s in taking our first steps, learning to make a gourmet meal, graduating from school, or any of the other myriad stepping stones in life that require concrete accomplishment.
