Abstract

This paper aims to develop a new concept of leadership style based on psychological work contracts and achievement motivation. We used extensive and comprehensive literature to create a theoretical synthesis. The result shows that Psychological Achievement Leadership can be defined as leaders who can inspire and encourage members to always excel based on the psychological relational work contract that has been agreed upon. The ultimate goal to have the best work performance and achievement is psychological satisfaction by both leader and member. We also propose four dimensions to indicate psychological achievement leadership: Achievement Motivation, Inspirational Motivation, Affective Work Contract, and Cognitive Work Contract. In our future research, we empirically test the effectiveness of this concept to improve organizational performance.
