Perspective teachers are mature enough, therefore they inspire with their own motivational level. This study is based upon the achievement motivation of Perspective teachers with regard to certain demographic variables. Achievement motivation arises by the need of success or fear of failure. If an individual has more need for success they will be focused or more goal oriented. Whereas if an individual has fear of failure, they work hard. The objectives of the paper are to find the level of achievement motivation of Perspective teachers, find the significant difference among Perspective teachers on the basis of gender, stream, and qualification, type of family and parents annual income. For the study 250 Perspective teachers of Patna (Bihar) have been selected by random sampling.
