Incentive value of success and probability of success are the two primary situational considerations in Atkinsons Model of Achievement Motivation.
Explanation:
Probability of success – To know about the success probability with the assigned task.
Incentive value of success – If the task is harder, the incentive will also be higher since the success probability is very low. The incentive value will be achieved by individual.
According to “J.W. Atkinson, Achievement Motivation” is a theoretical model whose goal is to describe how the motive to obtain success and the motive to avoid failure affect the behavior of an individual in a situation of performance evaluation. Both the motivational thoughts drives the person towards a the success point.
