Purpose – studies the extent to which three motivations – status, achievement and affiliation – affect the relationship between individualism and feedback-seeking behaviour. Design/methodology/approach – reviews how individualism might relate to feedback-seeking and the three motivation factors, and how the different motivation factors might relate to feedback-seeking and the relationship between it and individualism. Tests out the resulting hypotheses by surveying 154 undergraduates enrolled in a Singapore university and observing them working in a group project. Findings – reports that individualism was related to both status and achievement motivation, and that status motivation was related to feedback-seeking although achievement motivation was not – status motivation mediating the relationship between individualism and feedback-seeking. Lastly reports that affiliation status has some interaction with individualism in influencing feedback-seeking, primarily indirect feedback-seeking. Research limitations/ implications – describes the research methods and the analysis. Originality/value – studies the factors that underpin feedback-seeking. ISSN: 0965-075X Reference: 37AU068
