Abstract	The study examined machiavellianism in relation to achievement motivation among secondary school students. The 294 students were selected on the basis of convenient and volunteer sampling from 05 selected schools of Punjab. Two-way Analysis of variance was used to study main and interaction effect. The interaction effect of achievement motivation with Gender on machiavellianism and its dimensions viz. immorality, manipulation, distrust, desire for wealth and power among secondary school students. The results revealed that significant gender difference were found in machiavellianism, and its dimensions i.e. manipulation and distrust; but no significant gender difference were found in dimensions of machiavellianism i.e. immorality and desire for wealth and power. The mean score of female secondary school students are higher than mean score of male secondary school students. Also, the significant interaction effect of achievement motivation with gender was found only in manipulation dimension of machiavellianism, but no significant interaction effect of achievement motivation with gender was found in machiavellianism and its dimensions viz. immorality, distrust, desire for wealth and power among secondary school students. On the basis of findings, it is suggested that the teachers of the school should inculcate the moral qualities such as honesty, truthfulness and compassion among the secondary students. The secondary school teacher should not use harsh criticism for any misconduct (cheating, tell lie, manipulation) of secondary school students and help them to realize their mistake and take promise not to repeat it in near future. There is need to replace the machiavellian attitude with emotional stability so teachers should treat students with love and care so as to strengthen emotional stability in students. The secondary school teachers must focus on importance of hard work, self-learning and life-long learning as compared to believing in luck/fate only.
