Correlates of motivation for competitive or cooperative strategy among employed adults

Article Abstract:

A survey of graduate students who are full-time salaried employees was conducted to examine the relationship of measures of locus of control (LOC) and measures of need for achievement (NACH) with individual motivations for cooperative or competitive strategy. The results showed significant linkages between the motivation for competitive strategies and LOC, NACH, and other LOC factors such as internality, self-confidence and belief in chance. Belief in control by others and chance was linked with the motivation to avoid the use of competitive strategies. There was no linkage between the motivation to use cooperative strategies and either LOC or NACH.
