JEFFERY D WHIPPO’S VIEWS ON HOW DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS ARE MOTIVATED TO LEAD OTHERS

• JEFFERY

DAVID WHIPPO, AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY, SAYS THAT THE MOTIVATION FOR INDIVIDUALS TO MOVE UPWARD WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON.

• ACCORDING TO HIM, THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT REASONS FROM

THE STANDPOINTS OF PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIALIZATION FOR INDIVIDUALS TO WANT TO LEAD OTHERS.

WHIPPO EXPLAINS SIX COMPOSITES THAT JOHN B. MINER IDENTIFIED AS MOTIVATIONS TO MANAGE THESE SIX COMPONENTS ARE:

• MAINTAINING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH AUTHORITY FIGURES • WANTING TO COMPETE FOR RECOGNITION AND ADVANCEMENT • WANTING TO EXERCISE INFLUENCE OVER SUBORDINATES • BEING VISIBLY DIFFERENT FROM FOLLOWERS • BEING ACTIVE AND ASSERTIVE • BEING WILLING TO DO ROUTINE ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS.

WHIPPO EXPLAINS WHAT MINER’S SENTENCE COMPLETION SCALE (MSCS) IS • JEFFERY DAVID WHIPPO FURTHER INDICATES THAT IN AN EFFORT TO MEASURE A

PERSON’S MOTIVATION TO MANAGE, MINER DEVELOPED A PROJECTIVE TEST CALLED MINER’S SENTENCE COMPLETION SCALE (MSCS).

• HE EXPLAINS THAT THE MSCS IS MADE UP OF INCOMPLETE SENTENCES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE SIX COMPOSITES DESCRIBED ABOVE.

• HE SAYS, FOR EXAMPLE, AN INCOMPLETE SENTENCE FROM THE COMPOSITE OF

“MAINTAINING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH AUTHORITY FIGURES” MAY BE “MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY DIRECT SUPERVISOR…”

• HE DETAILS THAT THE RESPONDENTS HAVE TO COMPLETE THE SENTENCES WITHIN

DEFINED CRITERIA AND THAT WITHIN HIERARCHICAL OR BUREAUCRATIC ORGANIZATIONS, THE MSCS SCORES HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN FOUND TO PREDICT LEADERSHIP SUCCESS.

TRAITS OF SUCCESSFUL LEADERS ACCORDING TO MINER’S COMPOSITES • ACCORDING TO JEFFERY WHIPPO, WHEN LOOKING AT MINER’S COMPOSITES, IT IS FAIR TO SUMMARIZE THAT SUCCESSFUL LEADERS WOULD BE THOSE THAT –

• HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY • WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED • ACT ASSERTIVELY • ACTIVELY TRY TO INFLUENCE SUBORDINATES • MAINTAIN A PSYCHOLOGICAL AND EMOTIONAL DISTANCE FROM THEIR FOLLOWERS • HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE ON ROUTINE ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS
