Abstract
The goal of the study was to find covariance between desire for power and achievement motivation in competitive examinations’ aspirants and bureaucrats. Civil services of Pakistan, either central or provincial are considered elite services of Pakistan. Individuals who complete higher education, make their way to bureaucracy through competitive examinations. During this process, the role of motivation factors that affect individuals’ drive for success cannot be denied. To know this, purposive sampling technique was used by distributing questionnaires using survey method to 51 male and female participants. Desire for power was measured by “Index of Personal Reaction Scale” and achievement motivation by “Achievement Motivation Scale.” Results indicated that among the four subscales of IPR, need for influence positively correlated to hope of success and resistance to subordination positively correlated to fear of failure of R-AMS. Furthermore, need for influence predicted 19% variance in hope of success, while resistance to subordination predicted 9% variance in fear of failure.
