|  Radiological Control Training for Supervisors
DOE-HDBK-1143-2001
Student's Guide
Supervisors should evaluate the jobs of their
workers to determine if these dimensions are
part of the job. If not, the need for job
redesign may be indicated.
3. Need for achievement theory
In this theory, it is believed that some
employees have a need for achievement,
while others do not. If a person has a high
need for achievement, he/she will do better in
"achieving situations." These situations may
be characterized as follows:
Personal responsibility is evident. The
individual will receive credit for a job well
done.
The task should be at an intermediate to
average level of difficulty. There should
be a good chance of success.
The individual needs to receive feedback.
The individual needs to feel challenged.
The situation should be ongoing, with
consequences in the future.
Although a supervisor cannot change an
individual's need for achievement,
understanding this theory may explain what
motivates some employees.
B. Cognitive theories
Cognitive theories of motivation state that a
person's behavior is based on a cognitive
process. People think before they act.
