My motivational style is encouraged
by a leader that presents an altruistic style. This style motivates me by
giving me opportunities to improve society and to help others less fortunate
than me (Hughes, 2013). This motivation is further fueled by my need for
achievement. The need for achievement, involves a very strong desire to achieve
quality for production. I must achieve something tangible each day in order to
feel satisfied about myself. I have an internal fire burning inside of me; that
pushes me to start new tasks and work long hours without burning out (Gallup
Strength Finder, 2013).
When I motivate others I feel comfortable with the traditional style. I feel
that motivating others in an organization is easier when it has strong customs
and standards of behavior which give it cohesiveness and direction using clear
guidelines (Hughes, 2013).
At this time I am mostly intrinsically motivated. I have a strong achievement
orientation and desire values, but as I enter the workforce I anticipate that I
will become more extrinsically motivated. Making money, having job
security and helping others will be a good combination with my achievement orientation
and desire for values. I feel that Human Services is a good fit for me.
I have accompanied others on several
mission trips to Mexico, Myrtle Beach and NYC to assist others to rebuild due
to disaster. These were extremely motivating for me. I achieved a quality
product while helping others which is just the right combination for my
personality.
