`Role Motivation Theories is a most impressive book. It is clearly written. The theoretical framework provides a model for future research into trait theories of leadership and could be used with advantage in the developmnet of more valid and practical content theories of work motivation. The issue of cultural and individual differences is addressed with admirable, and rare, thoroughness and, throughout, Miner provides a very balanced account of his theories' merits and limitations.' - Journal of Management Studies
