Taiwanese industries and universities recruit a lot of foreign workers and students from Southeast Asian countries. Unfortunately, a lack of research by local academics on understanding them in terms of psychological variables like self-view and achievement motivation can lead to a neglect of their ability and skills development. As a result, this study investigated three groups of Asian workers, namely Taiwanese, Indonesians, and Vietnamese, on self-view and achievement motivation. A cross-national survey study of 895 respondents led us to conclude that although the three Asian groups are generally socialoriented in terms of their self-view and achievement motivation, Indonesian workers have a higher Individual-Oriented Self-View (IOSV), Social-Oriented Self-View (SOSV), Individual-Oriented Achievement Motivation (IOAM), and Social-Oriented Achievement Motivation (SOAM). Also, while there is a significantly positive relationship between self-view and achievement motivation, the nature of this relationship is different in each country. © 2024 Inderscience Publishers.
