McClelland believes that individuals are motivated by achievement, power, and affiliation, yet they tend to favor one over the others.

Complete the readings for this unit and then complete additional research on the McClelland theory of needs. Remember, McClelland believes that individuals are motivated by achievement, power, and affiliation, yet they tend to favor one over the others. After reviewing and researching the theory, discuss which one seems to motivate you the most (achievement, power, or affiliation), and explain why.
REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS EACH)
                                                     CLASSMATE’S POST
Of McClelland's various motivation types, I fall into the achiever category.  The following concepts pretty much describe my work style to a tee, other than I operate well in a group OR alone.  However, I do prefer to perform as a member of a smaller team. 
a) Taking calculated risks with high rewards 
b) Reliance on instant and consistent feedback to assure the job is being performed correctly 
c) Lack of satisfaction until job is completed in its entirety 
d) Placing high value on the work itself and not simply material rewards 
My respect for coworkers is also based on their achievements in their own professions and not on their position or affiliation with others.  I have no interest is achieving power over others; however, have been told numerous times that I possess "leadership skills".  I feel that feedback stems more from the fact that I am very decisive, and action is imperative to my success.  I am become frustrated very quickly around individuals and groups who cannot work through a problem quickly and act.

This assignment allows students to develop exam study guides, while also helping classmates. Students have been divided into groups (approximately 4 people in each group). To work with your group, and post the two required postings, go to the Blackboard course website and choose “My Groups” from the left side menu. Click on the group, then, under “Group Tools” click “Group Discussion Board”. For further instructions regarding how to use/post to the discussion board, I have attached instructions to this assignment. Students may only consult, and cite, the textbook, the assigned supplemental readings/video, and the narrated lectures for this assignment.    Part 1: The first part of this assignment is to post to your GROUP DISCUSSION BOARD (not the class discussion board), an open-ended question (requiring more than a yes or no answer) from the chapter you have been assigned.

  Reflection Students are encouraged to create portfolios and begin to "manage" their careers. When you began a college education you took the first step. You now need to begin to reflect on the next goal, then medium, and long-term goals. I did not complete my final degree until well into my 50's. And that is fine, I loved my health care career. I was eager to care for patients and did not leave direct patient care for many decades. I did know the time would come to do so however, and began to earn the college degrees I would need at the proper time. This is what is meant by managing your career. This is an entry level program. It is designed to assist you in getting your "foot in the door" where you can learn valuable clinical skills. A common and important degree is the Bachelor of Health Information Management (BS-HIM).
