Answer:
McClelland's theory of needs states that workers are
motivated by three needs: need for achievement, need for power, and need for
affiliation.
Individuals differ in the degree to which a particular need motivates them. Individuals with a high need for achievement have a drive to excel, to achieve in relation to a set of standards.
Individuals with a high need for power need to make others behave in a way that they would not have otherwise behaved, while individuals with a high need for affiliation have the desire for friendly and close interpersonal relationships.
The most successful managers will have an appropriate fit between their job and their dominant need.
