Part of what makes McClellandsacquired needs theory so powerful is that the work environments and job responsibilities can and in fact, should be tailored to meet workers specific needs. Consider the three types of needs described in section 10.1.3.

1. Of achievement, power, or affiliation, which is the strongest need you have?

2. What type of position would be most likely to satisfy the need that you have identified as your strongest need?

3. Why would the position that you identified in #2 satisfy the need that you identified in #1?
