However, there are forces, both in the work situation and in our society at large, that limit opportunities to fulfill this motive. One factor in the work situation is the nature of the job. If the work to be done is dull and unchallenging, the individual can get no real satisfaction from doing it well." overmanagement"Another factor is too-close supervision.
