The thesis examines the role of human motives in the applied setting of a salary negotiation. It shows positive effects of the dispositional or aroused implicit power motive on salary requests. Moreover, the thesis demonstrates that arousing two conflicting motives – the implicit power motive and the explicit affiliation motive – has a negative effect on salary requests. Thus, the thesis outlines the role of humans’ motive configuration for negotiation performance and delineates practical implications for negotiators.
