Abstract

This article presents the results of empirical studies of the interrelation of basic constructs: the need for achievement and achievement motivation. The research, described in this article, was focused at a comparative study of mentioned constructs at groups of managers and students. The study was conducted with the help of the following psycho-diagnostic methods: test of achievement motivation study by A. Mehrabian; test “Need for achievements” by Yu. M. Orlov; self-report inventory “Big Five” by P. Howard, P. Medina and J. Howard. Obtained results indicate positive relationship between the need for achievement and achievement motivation among studied groups of managers and students.
