From the Paper:

"Essentially, my supervisors expected me to appear busy while doing nothing and having nothing to appear busy with besides my homework. This instilled a feeling in me that McGregor (1957) would equate to be a lack of satisfying my ego and self-fulfillment needs. These needs would be defined as a need to feel a sense of achievement, a sense of obtaining knowledge, a sense of "realizing one's own potential, [and a sense] for continued self-development." McGregor would diagnose my condition as being sick just like any other medically ill man."
