The paper deals with the issue of achievement motivation in adolescents and with the research into the level of the structure of this motivation. The LMI method was used to carry out a side study of a randomly selected sample of students at secondary commercial schools, branch management. Achievement motivation is used as a concept to explain the differences in individual behaviour in various parts of life. Our investigation was focused on finding out the total and partial scores in achievement motivation, including the description of each dimension both in boys and girls
