Abstract: | Research was conducted to determine whether managerial motivation can be identified as early as the junior year of college. Business students were tested with the Miner Sentence Completion Scale (MSCS), and the scores of those who did and did not indicate managerial career objectives were compared. Although those aspiring to management positions had higher scores, the differentiation was not as pronounced as that previously found among graduate students. These results are interpreted to reflect a learning process which gradually serves to integrate established motives with a vocational choice. |
