- Abstract
This article discusses the relationship between social workers' achievement motivation and their readiness to make life changes. A preliminary definition of the analysed categories and their significance in the performance of social work provided a basis for the analysis of the results of own research. The method of diagnostic survey was used. The levels of the readiness to change in global terms and in terms of the characteristics that reflect the complexity of the phenomenon were determined using The Readiness to Change Questionnaire by R. Kriegel and D. Brandt in the Polish adaptation by Paszkowska- Rogacz. The levels of social workers' achievement motivation were analysed using the Achievement Motivation Questionnaire by M. Widerszal-Bazyl. The results of the research presented in the article revealed the correlation between the level of the subjects' achievement motivation and the level of readiness to change. Namely, the higher the social workers' level of aspiration for success, the higher their openness to change. Significant correlation between the level of achievement motivation and the level of adventurousness and adaptability were also observed. Those results show that the development of achievement motivation may be beneficial for minimising resistance to change, especially in respect of confidence defined as boldness and flexibility, the latter being understood as ease of adapting to changing environmental requirements and resilience, thanks to which people are not overcome by adversities, but rather learn from their mistakes.
