Abstract: This article reports the results of a cross-cultural study carried out on job-related perceptions and motivations of business students in the People’s Republic of China and Chile. The major research objective was to investigate how the achievement motivation of Chinese, their value systems, the characteristics they look for in employment, and their general perceptions of attributes of business enterprises differed from those of the Chileans. The results indicated that the Chinese are more similar than dissimilar to Chileans. Although the value system of the two groups were somewhat different, these were not reflected on their perceptions of the public and private sector enterprises, job motivations and job needs.
