Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals with high need for achievement are often motivated by challenges and a desire to succeed. Starting his own business would provide Alden with the opportunity to set and meet his own goals, take on challenges and achieve success in his own way. Working in a corporate environment or as a project manager may not provide enough control and autonomy over his work to satisfy his high need for achievement. Playing the Lotto is not a viable career option.
