I would like to be recognized in the workplace for my accomplishments but not my personhood. At the initial stages of my career, I endeavor to take on risky challenges and tasks that I can use to prove my abilities and skills in my current position in the company’s workforce. By successfully completing the tasks or projects I have been assigned by the manager and within the set period amidst dangerous and challenging conditions, I will have satisfied my need for achievement. The harder the challenges, the more I get motivated to achieve others’ goals, and the more difficult and riskier it is to gain more knowledge and experience as I grow and develop in my professional life (McClelland, 2018). I am convinced that by the time I reach a certain level in my career, I will be in a better position to pursue the need for power, although I perceive it as a secondary necessity in my profession. I am confident that by enhancing performance and productivity in the workplace, I will be above others, and it wouldn’t be difficult to obtain the power I anticipate. Hence, my career life is motivated by the urge to satisfy these two needs, though currently, I am prioritizing achievements to create a strong foundation to pursue the other.
After completing the McClelland’s need theory test, the score was above average. The results are not surprising because they were almost just like I expected. For instance, I scored 92 in the driving aspect, and this is true because I always anticipate completing any task that is significant. Also, although I like having fun, my primary agenda is achieving something that will enhance my ambitions of being recognized and successful in the workplace; thus, I have an average score of 53 in reward responsiveness.
