AbstractIn order to investigate the relationship between self-esteem and achievement motivation the Bengali version (Ilyas, 2003) of Rosenberg’s Self-esteem Scale (Rosenberg 1965) and the Achievement Motivation Scale (Afsaruddin 1987) were administered to a sample of 160 (80 male and 80 female) undergraduate students to measure their self-esteem and achievement motivation respectively. The respondents were classified into three groups – high (above 50th percentile), medium (from 25th to 50th percentile) and low (below 25th percentile) on the basis of their obtained achievement motivation scores. Comparisons were made among the three groups on their self- esteem scores employing one way ANOVA and t-test. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference among high, medium and low achievement motivation groups regarding self-esteem. The results also revealed significantly higher self-esteem in high achievement motivation group than in medium and low achievement motivation groups and self-esteem of medium achievement motivation group was also significantly higher than that of low achievement motivation group.
