Achievement Addiction: Theoretical Prospect

. Maryam Amjad


Abstract

This study corresponds to one of the prevailing personality type or characteristic in the people who experience a never-ending thirst for success and achievement. These people love to achieve everything they think of and struggle hard in order to get admiration from others. Their goal oriented quality and perseverance keep them pushing to strive for a particular public image that eventually water their grandiosity. This grandiose nature or characteristic become the feedback loop of narcissism and elated self-esteem in them. Several potential correlates are clustered into different domains of psychological, social, emotional, personality, and environment, followed by the expected outcomes. It is suggested to explore these areas through scientific researches as there is no literature available on this topic, although it may be hard to assess the actual expressions in such people due to their rigid personality patterns.
