McClelland examined three "learned" needs: achievement, power, and affiliation. 1. Need for achievement: People with a strong need for
achievement (nAch) want to accomplish reasonably challenging goals through their own effort. They prefer working alone rather than in teams, and they choose tasks with a moderate degree of risk. High-nAch people also desire unambiguous feedback and recognition for their success. Money is a weak motivator, except when it provides feedback and recognition. In contrast, employees with a low nAch perform their work better when money is used as an incentive. Four-drive theory states that everyone has the drive to acquire, bond, learn, and defend. The four drives are: 1. Drive to acquire: This is the drive to seek, take, control, and retain objects and personal experiences. Every bit of information we receive is quickly and nonconsciously tagged with emotional markers that subsequently shape our logical analysis of the situation. According to four-drive theory, these four drives determine which emotions are tagged to incoming stimuli. Four-drive theory states that competing drives (i.e., conflicting emotions) demand our attention, which causes us to choose a course of action based on our social norms, past experience, and personal values. In other words, our conscious analysis of competing demands from the four drives generates needs that energize us to act in ways acceptable to society and our own moral compass. Which motivation theory considers the individual's perceived probability that his or her effort will result in a particular level of performance?Expectancy Theory

Which theory of motivation asserts that the strongest source of motivation is the lowest unsatisfied need at the time?Feedback: Maslow suggested that we are motivated simultaneously by several primary needs (drives), but the strongest source of motivation is the lowest unsatisfied need at the time.
What is the four drive theory?The Four Drive theory is based on research that shows four underlying drives – the drive to Acquire & Achieve, to Bond & Belong, to be Challenged & Comprehend and to Define & Defend. Each of these drives are important if we are to understand employee motivation.
