ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION “A KEY TOWARDS SUCCESS”

Dr. Geeta Thakur

Abstract: Motivation is generally regarded as the drive to achieve targets and the process to maintain the drive. Motivation provides an important foundation to complete cognitive behaviour, such as planning, organization, decision-making, learning, and assessments. Yet there is little comparative evidence on the nature or generality of achievement motivation across these domains. This study was conducted on two groups comprising of 175 subjects each.  Three Hundred Fifty (N=350) male players of individual and team games aged between 20-25 years were further divided into two groups.

  • Individual (i.e., Athletics, Weightlifting, Wrestling, Cycling and Boxing).
  • Team games (i.e., Basketball, Volleyball, Handball, Football, Baseball).

Student’s t-test for independent data was used to assess the between-group differences and the data were further subjected to one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The level of p≤0.05 was considered significant.

The results of the present study demonstrate that there are significant differences of individual and team game players in regard to achievement motivation.

Keywords: Motivation, success, achievement, cognitive behaviour.
