David McClelland's acquired needs theory proposes that people acquire three main needs through their life experiences: the need for achievement (nAch), the need for power (nPower), and the need for affiliation (nAff). The need for achievement involves the desire to accomplish goals effectively. The need for power involves the desire to influence and control others. The need for affiliation involves the desire for human companionship and acceptance. People with different levels of these needs prefer different types of work environments.
