Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Achievement motivation is the desire or drive to excel, outperform others, or achieve a goal that is personally important. It is not focused on reaching a level of self-perfection or fulfilling culturally dictated goals. Meeting the needs of those we seek to please is more closely related to approval motivation, which is different from achievement motivation.
