Abstract

Comparisons were made of the achievement motivation levels of British, Australian, and American immigrants in New Zealand with their occupational counterparts in their native countries. Results, obtained through use of a nonprojective measure, indicated that immigrant entrepreneurs and educators did not differ in need for achievement from those in similar jobs in their respective homelands. Immigrant middle managers recorded significantly lower n Ach than their native comparison groups. Findings were interpreted as supportive of the McClelland model.
