This presentation discusses achievement motivation and how it develops from childhood through adulthood. It explores intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, the need for achievement, and how parents can shape a child's drive for achievement through encouragement, rewards, alternative solutions, and progressing to higher levels of tasks. In the workplace, setting meaningful, specific, and effective goals along with providing independence, challenges, and rewards can motivate employees and result in benefits like lower turnover and increased productivity for employers. Achievement and subjective wellbeing are also connected, as one's reaction to life events depends on their baseline level of wellbeing and what they view as most or least important.
