| has gloss | eng: Need for Power (N-Pow) is a term that was popularized by renowned psychologist David McClelland in 1961. However, it should be recognized that McClellends thinking was strongly influenced by the pioneering work of Henry Murray who first identified underlying psychological human needs and motivational processes (1938). It was Murray who set out a taxonomy of needs, including Achievement, Power and Affiliation - and placed these in the context of an integrated motivational model. In McClellands book "The Achieving Society" N-Pow helps explain an individual's imperative to be in charge. According to his work there are two kinds of power, social and personal. |
