Participants in this study were the students, parents, and teachers from seven national junior high schools in Taoyaun County. A questionnaire was completed by each participant, and there were 754 copies valid. Results showed ten suggestions: (1) The more parents’ learning orientation was, the stronger students’ individual- oriented achievement motivation was. (2)There was no significant positive correlation between teachers’ learning orientation and students’ individual-oriented achievement motivation. (3) Parents’ learning orientation had more significant effect on students’ individual-oriented achievement motivation than teachers’ learning orientation did （4）The more parents’ performance orientation was, the stronger students’ social-oriented achievement motivation was. (5) There was no significant positive correlation between teachers’ performance orientation and students’ social-oriented achievement motivation. (6) Parents’ performance orientation had more significant effect on students’ social-oriented achievement motivation than teachers’ performance orientation did. (7) The stronger students’ individual-oriented achievement motivation is, the better their learning performance is. (8) The higher students’ self-efficacy is, the better their learning performance is. (9) The stronger students’ individual-oriented achievement motivation is, the higher their self-efficacy is.
