ACHIEVEMENT ORIENTATION
Achievement orientation is a person´s need to do thing better, faster and more efficiently.

Individuals with high achievement orientation behave like successful, rational business
entrepreneurs. They plan and organise their lives and show concern about the use of their time
– that is, they tend to maximise the likelihood of achieving success by setting challenging yet

achievable goals, and show a great deal of persistence and determination in pursuing their
goals. They perform significantly better when they have positive a definite feedback as to how

well they are doing.
They assume personal responsibility for problem and seek creative solutions in order to
experience a sense of achievement satisfaction from completing a task. They do not favour tasks
where the outcome depends on luck or circumstances beyond their control and a high degree of
self-assertion, self-confidence and flexibility is reflected in their behaviour. High need for
achievement has been identified as the critical motive that influence for most of venture creation
and entrepreneurship
