McClelland's Need Theory
- David McClelland describes three central motivational paradigms: achievement, affiliation and power.
- Psychologist David McClelland developed Need Theory, a motivational model that attempts to explain how the needs for achievement, power (authority), and affiliation affect people's actions in a management context.
- People who are strongly affiliation-motivated are driven by the desire to create and maintain social relationships.
- It is important to note that needs do not necessarily correlate with competencies; it is possible for an employee to be strongly affiliation-motivated, for example, but to still be successful in a situation in which his affiliation needs are not met.
- McClelland proposes that those in top management positions should have a high need for power and a low need for affiliation.

Summary
- Two-mode data (often referred to as "actor-by-event" or "affiliation" in social network analysis) offer some interesting possibilities for gaining insights into macro-micro or agent-structure relations.
- With two-mode data, we can examine how macro-structures (events) pattern the interactions among agents (or not); we can also examine how the actors define and create macro structures by their patterns of affiliation with them.
- The goal of these methods is to assess how well the observed patterns of actor-event affiliations fit some prior notions of the nature of the "joint space" (i.e.
- To the extent that the actor-event affiliations can be usefully thought of in these ways, block models also then allow us to classify types or groups of actors along with the events that are characteristic of them.
