The study was conducted by means of a case study in which the achievement motivation of a traditionally disadvantaged adolescent was measured by the Achievement Motivation Profile test (Friedland, Mandel&Marcus, 1982) prior to, and on completion of the postmodern career facilitation process. The inquiry into the participant’s motivation to achieve was dependent on a qualitative integration of psychometric test results and information obtained from narrative techniques. The study was motivated by previous research indicating that traditional disadvantagement does not support the development of sufficient achievement motivation beliefs. Sufficient achievement behaviour appears to be preceded by both the will, and the skill, to achieve.© University of PretorTraditionally disadvantagedTraditional approachCareer facilitationAchievement motivationNarrative techniquesPrestasiemotiveringTradisionele benaderingBenadeeldPostmodern approachNarratiewe tegniekeBeroepsfasiliteringNarratiewe beroepsfasiliteringAdolessentTradisioneel benadeeldPostmoderne benaderingNarrative career facilitationAdolescentAchievement motivation profile testDisadvantagedUCTDDissertationhttp://upetd.up.ac.za/thesis/available/etd-02082008-001959/
