Abstract

The present research is an attempt to explore the motivational drivers found in Paulo Coelho's novel The Archer (2020). The story centers on the protagonist Tetsuya who is an archer, and teaches his disciple who is named the boy in the text the key to success through the bow and the arrow; he explains failures and success in life through his experience gained from archery. The study is qualitative and the data has been collected from the selected text (main source) while the secondary sources such as journals, articles, websites, etc. are used for assistance through the close-reading method. David McClelland’s Human Motivation Theory (1987) is applied on the given textthat proposes three motivational drivers for achieving success in life such as affiliation, power, and achievement.
