This study describes the motivational characteristics of developing experts in information technology (IT). Experienced IT workers from completed surveys about perceived competence and achievement goals for continued expertise development. The sample as a whole scored higher on intrinsic motivators than on extrinsic motivators. A cluster analysis was performed on standardized scores in order to create profiles of multiple goals. Three groups were found: Cluster 1 scored relatively low on all goal variables and on perceived competence; Cluster 2 scored relatively high on intrinsic goals and perceived competence and relatively low on extrinsic goals; and Cluster 3 scored relatively high on extrinsic goals and relatively low on intrinsic goals and perceived competence. Therefore, while the participants were motivated more intrinsically than extrinsically, some depended relatively more on extrinsic rewards and had lower perceived competence than their peers. This may cause their expertise development to have a lower trajectory; they may progress more slowly and with less satisfaction and enjoyment. This study should be useful to those who are interested in expertise development.
