Comments/Reviews
Description: This volume makes available in one place the large body of research that has been developed over the years on role motivation theory. Author Jack Miner has always been concerned with unconscious factors in human experience, and this work is designed to give proper emphasis to their role in organizational behavior.
Part I reviews the current status of projective techniques and the recent work that has been done on unconscious motivation. Part II covers Miner's significant research in the field, from his early work at the Atlantic Refining Company to his career-long leadership studies of Princeton University graduates. The chapters in Part III involve psychometric data analysis, meta-analysis, and factor analysis.

About the Author
Comment(s): "This book provides in a single convenient source a compilation of influential research on motivation, the context of leadership, and entrepreneurship, conducted by Jack Miner and his colleagues over the past several decades. It will make a nice addition to the bookshelf of any serious OB scholar." -- Robert Liden, University of Illinois at Chicago
"Miner addresses the critical, but often neglected topic, of unconscious motives. This book not only provides an important theoretical framework likely to guide future research in this area, it also examines in depth how unconscious motives shape leader performance across a range of settings and organizations. Accordingly, this book will prove of great interest, and great value, to both those interested in motivation and those interested in the effects of motivation on leadership." -- Michael D. Mumford, University of Oklahoma
"Jack Miner is one of the all-time great management and OB scholars and writers whose contributions are legion. This seminal book continues in that tradition and is a tour de force of role motivation theory-not only a scholarly lesson in theory building, but also one in theory testing. It is a must-read for all serious scholars, current and aspiring, in the fields of management, OB, and applied psychology." -- Fran Yammarino, State University of New York at Binghamton
"Miner has done it again! He has put together a magical historical and current overview of OB. The work covers qualitative and quantitative thrusts, ties OB and OT together, and spins out a combination of traditional and current theory that makes for a compelling read. I know of few people in the field who could pull all this off as effectively as Jack Miner." -- Jerry Hunt, Texas Tech University
