This qualitative interview study was designed and conducted to gain an understanding of what self-reported motivational traits or characteristics the participants in this study believe influenced them to persist and successfully complete their HRD or OD doctoral programs; it is a study of success. The knowledge gained from this study regarding the importance of motivation to doctoral program completion can help both current and prospective doctoral candidates to better achieve their doctoral goals. Twenty-one subjects, who graduated from between one and ten years previously from 12 separate HRD or OD doctoral programs, participated in this study: 13 women and 8 men, ranging in age from 30 to 55. A 60- to 90-minute, one-on-one semi-structured interview was conducted with each participant and was transcribed verbatim to permit an inductive analysis of the data.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This qualitative interview study was designed and conducted to gain an understanding of what self-reported motivational traits or characteristics the participants in this study believe influenced them to persist and successfully complete their HRD or OD doctoral programs; it is a study of success. The knowledge gained from this study regarding the importance of motivation to doctoral program completion can help both current and prospective doctoral candidates to better achieve their doctoral goals. Twenty-one subjects, who graduated from between one and ten years previously from 12 separate HRD or OD doctoral programs, participated in this study: 13 women and 8 men, ranging in age from 30 to 55. A 60- to 90-minute, one-on-one semi-structured interview was conducted with each participant and was transcribed verbatim to permit an inductive analysis of the data.
520 $a Five major findings emerged from the data that were essentially similar for all 21 participants: (1) the "believers" all possessed a high self-expectation of completion; (2) the "achievers" had a belief in the intrinsic value of their goal; (3) the "succeeders" were internally driven to always achieve their personal best; (4) the "nurtured" received encouragement and support throughout their journey; and (5) the "pragmatists" were pulled by the promise of extrinsic or external rewards. These findings demonstrate a testable typology.
520 $a In addition, a conclusion was drawn that doctoral candidates who possess a majority of the above five motivational findings must also possess the ability (skillsets) to deal with the myriad of non-academic life events that doctoral candidates encounter. The successful candidates in this study demonstrated the ability to (1) establish a balance between work, family, and school; (2) cope with the barriers and obstacles, such as loss of jobs and sickness; (3) self-direct their dissertation research; and (4) obtain continuing nurturing and encouragement from family, friends, peers, or faculty. Based on these findings, one can argue that doctoral candidates possessing a majority of the characteristics and skillsets identified in this study have a higher likelihood of success than those who do not.
