The results showed that both achievement motivation and reading comprehension, including their dimensions, reached considerable levels; in particular, achievement motivation obtained a high level, and reading comprehension was placed in a good level category. Furthermore, the existence of a significant relationship between achievement motivation and reading comprehension was validated, supported by a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.429* with a p-value of 0.014.
