Motivating Humans : Goals, Emotions, and Personal Agency Beliefs

Rating:
Summary: An Integrated Theoretical Framework of Human Motivation
Review: Regardless of your expertise in this subject matter, you should read this book (if you have not already). It is an outstanding work, using a systems-theoretical approach to integrate the many theories related to personality and motivation. Like S. Ceci's work in the cognitive domain, "On Intelligence More or Less...," Ford is absolutely the best single source for anyone interested in understanding the domain of personality and motivation, for fun or profit!

Rating:
