Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2002.

This study evaluated how inventor motivation, career identity, skill, and formative environments are associated with creative achievement. A group of 247 inventors worldwide working in multinational firms responded to a 90-question on-line survey. A blend of two theoretical frameworks guided this study: (a) Martin Ford's Motivational Systems Theory, which outlines three psychological functions (personal goals, emotional arousal, and personal agency) that motivate goal directed activity within the larger context of skill and the environment; and (b) John Krumboltz' Social Learning Theory of Career Decision Making, which explains how the early home, school, and community environments enable learning experiences that contribute to career development, identity, choice, and achievement.

520 $a This study evaluated how inventor motivation, career identity, skill, and formative environments are associated with creative achievement. A group of 247 inventors worldwide working in multinational firms responded to a 90-question on-line survey. A blend of two theoretical frameworks guided this study: (a) Martin Ford's Motivational Systems Theory, which outlines three psychological functions (personal goals, emotional arousal, and personal agency) that motivate goal directed activity within the larger context of skill and the environment; and (b) John Krumboltz' Social Learning Theory of Career Decision Making, which explains how the early home, school, and community environments enable learning experiences that contribute to career development, identity, choice, and achievement.
520 $a Strong associations were found between achievement (adjusted r 2 ranged from .19 to .47) and independent measures of skill (education and years of experience) and two dimensions of motivation (emotional arousal and personal agency). Five measures of achievement were developed: (a) recognition, (b) accomplishment, and (c) success, (d) publications and conference presentations, and (e) patents.
520 $a Emotional arousal measured by subjective well being at work (SWB) was positively associated with accomplishment. Skill showed positive associations with all achievement measures except accomplishment. Personal agency (evaluated with an original self-efficacy scale) showed strong associations with every measure of achievement. Ethnicity was not a significant determinant of achievement. However, non-white ethnicity was associated with higher personal agency. Gender was not significantly associated with achievement, except where female participants generated more publications and conference presentations than men. Also, female participants had lower SWB at work than males. Finally, higher levels of inventor identity were associated with higher levels of personal agency, with higher levels of achievement, with being male, but not ethnicity.
520 $a Two important conclusions arose from the qualitative analysis of personal goals and formative environment: (a) intrinsic motivation featured prominently in the participants' top ten reasons for doing inventing work, and (b) participants cited salient examples of how the early family, school, community, and higher education environment had influenced their ability to invent.
