power motive  

Définition

  • The power motive (also called n power, the need for power, or power motivation) is the operationally defined psychological term for what is often called the desire for power, the will to power (Nietzsche), the aggressive drive (Freud), or striving for superiority (Adler). The notions that power is a basic goal in human social life, and that individuals differ in the extent to which they seek power, can be found in many ancient and modern systems of thought.
