Power motivation
Explanation:
I have found this:

Achievement Motivation (AM) - Willingness to tackle problems and the motivation to make strong demands on one's own performance; readiness to invest strenuous effort; motivation to continuously improve one's own performance.

Power Motivation (PM) - Motivation to change something that is seen as needing improvement; readiness to influence things and to follow up with one's own ideas.
Would that fit Gestaltungsmotivation Bereitschaft zur Einflussnahme; Veränderungswille bei Missständen?


Leadership Motivation (LM) - Motivation to exert influence in a social situation; preference for leadership and management tasks.

Strange though it may seem, this is the term that the publisher uses, as Armorel pointed out. Thanks to you both.

transformative motivation


Explanation:
= the motivation to effect/bring about change.

In the example below, second-language learning is just a random context for my purposes. The important part is that people seem to use transformative motivation "for empowerment or to transform some aspect of their life."
http://www.liquisearch.com/motivation_in_second-language_lea...

Apparently, this turns into "transformational motivation" if it goes beyond the call of duty, inspires others and/or is directed towards a greater good..

"It is detailed in the transformational motivation leadership model of Burns (1978) how leaders with inspirational motivation justify followers with high standards, communicate optimism about future goals, and provide scope for the task at hand..."
