Abstract
Most literature sources are based on negative assumptions about contract workers and
career success. Despite the growing number of contract workers employed at higher
education institutions (HEIs), and the changes it elicits in the work place, there has
been little theoretical work conducted about a positive perspective of contract workers
in relation to achieving organisational or personal goals. A review of the topic about
contract workers has been undertaken from the perspective of motivational leadership,
incorporating the theoretical perspectives of the goal setting theory (Locke 1960 in
Jooste 2009) and the model of complex man and organisations (Schein 1992 in Jooste
2009).
