Achievement motivation and self-respect are two important elements for athlete's sport success in the national and international levels. The purpose of this research was comparison of achievement motivation and self-respect between the elite and amateur athletes in Lurestan province which has done with descriptive- survey approach. Statistical population were consisted of all national team members athletes in different sports in Lurestan Province (39 members) as elite athlete and all amateur athletes in different sports (550 athletes). All population of first group (39 members; census) and an equal number for second group (39 athletes; non-probability) were selected as statistical sample (78 samples totally). Two standardized questionnaires for the achievement motivation (P.Gava; α=0/78) and self-respect (Kupersmit; α= 0/83) were used for data gathering. For analyzing the data, in addition to descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean and standard deviation, some inferential statistics tests including Independent Sample t-test were used for comparing variables between two groups. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the achievement motivation and self-respect of elite and amateur athletes (p<0/002, p<0/001). Meanwhile, in the sub-scales of self-respect variable (social, family-related, education) the difference of two groups in social self-respect of athletes was significant (p<0/05). So the results show that the achievement motivation, self-respect, and social self-respect of elite athletes are higher than amateur athletes significantly.
