The following is an exploratory study of the attitudes toward achievement motivation among Kuwaiti social workers. A number of factors are explored, including attitudes toward collaboration and its relationship to achievement. No studies have been conducted in Kuwait regarding factors of motivation and collaboration among social workers in different organizations, or its relation to their achievement. Participants were a convenience sample of 313 social workers from various institutions in Kuwait. Results of the study indicated that years of experience, age, and number of children correlated positively with the social worker motivation towards achievement. Additionally attitude toward collaboration, number of children, and income were significant predictors of social worker achievement motivation. Suggestions for future research are discussed.
