The achievement motivation theory by McClelland's is the one that I feel is particularly relevant to me. That theory is based on people's needs or expectations , which result in driving force that makes the way to achieve desired goals and then achievement of that goals provides fulfilment which is a feedback to people's needs or expectations. Since I can remember I have always had a concrete goals to achieve. I've never thought about the current level of my needs because I didn't have to worry about my safety or physiological needs when I was living with my partents. In December 2006 , I started to excercise in the gym with my fitness coach. My weight then was about 117 kilograms. I knew that it was a serious threat on my health , so my current need was to loose a lot of this weight. It's almost four years now since I started to excercise regularly. My driving force was all the work I have already done so far. After almost four years , I've lost about 27 kilograms , what happens to be the goal that I wanted to achieve. Now I want to look as good as I can and be very fit as well , so this is the feedback of fulfilment in this example.
My life is based on this theory. When I started to race with quadbike I wanted to be good at it. To do that I needed to ride a lot and improve my fitness as well. Now , when I am a good rider I want to be even better , so I want to achieve another goal.
I've joined american football team at university and I want to be a good player. I need to learn theory , work hard and practice. It is a similar situation as with the goal that I want to achieve in quadbike racing.
Examples mentioned above prove that the McClelland's achievement motivation theory is the one that is the most relevant to me. It's the most concrete for me and enables me to describe my way of thinking and working the best of all theories mentioned above.
When I was in high school , I met people showing the ability of studying in England. They displayed a lot of advertising material and made me realize that I want to study at Buckinghamshire New University.
I already knew that I could study at plenty of Polish colleges situated close to my home but I knew as well that I will never be able to gain so many profits from that kind of college that I was able to take from Buckinghamshire New University.
Firstly , there is no way to improve my English language skills at Polish college or university. Most of the lectures are held in Polish. There are some of them that are held in English and advertised as a kind of English studies in Poland but it is obvious that Polish lecturer can't speak better English than English lecturer with years of experience.
Secondly , Polish students very often have to learn things that have absolutely no matter and will not help them during their course. For example students of Religion Studies studying physical education obligatory.
I want to avoid studying unnecessary subjects in Poland and just waste my time.
At Bucks I can learn things that will help me understand how the business world works. I will be able to gain skills that will make my future job much easier.
Tthis university enables me to meet people from all over the world. I can made some serious relationships or friendships with many people and use them to make a lot of benefits in future life.
I am sure that during the first year of studying here I will get to know this place better and feel more familiar with everything. I believe that what will motivate me for the next 2 to 3 years is the knowledge that I can always gain more and more profits and skills in many areas because Buckinghamshire New University is made to enable it's students to do it. I know that the more I learn here , the more I will be able to do in my future life. It is really simple but I am sure that this is what is going to motivate me during next 2 to 3 years.
I am here because I want to finish my degree course. I want to implement myself on many ways , I want to actualize myself so it is easy to say that Maslow's hierarchy of needs is another theory that is connected to me. It shows levels of people's needs from physiological to self actualization. If it comes to belonging needs , I've joined American football team to alleviate that need because in that kind of groups the feeling of being a part of something is a ususal thing.
However McClelland's achievement motivation theory is more relevant to me because I know exactly what my goals are. My expectations are to make as many benefits as possible and my driving force in that case is all the work I will do to achieve it.
