A diákkori, egyéni tanulmányi versenymotivációk hatása a későbbi szervezeti versenymotivációra
Absztrakt :
Currently, competition surrounds us everywhere, whether we talk about our professional career or about our private life. We already learn it as a small child that we need to compete quite often in order to stand out from the crowd, to become successful or to become popular in a given community. The ancient Greeks already respected those who triumphed over others in a competition, due to either their physical or mental excess skills. This tendency has remained stable so far. We already socialize in accordance with constant presence of competitions as pupils. This effect follows us while growing up and becomes an organic part of our everyday life, even in the workplace. Of course it is a question who is affected by competitive spirit and how much. The authors conducted an overall empirical research last year in order to get to know how contests demanding either physical strength, skilfullness or intellectual capabilities affect the individual. Researchers discuss in this current paper how intellectual challenges of students influence future employees later in life, namely if motivations for childhood rivalries have any motivational effect on competitions in the workplace.
