Abstract
This paper discusses the effect of university researchers’ achievement motivation on job achievement and the mediating role of psychological capital from the perspective of psychology. A questionnaire was used to investigate the psychological capital, achievement motivation and job achievement of 300 university researchers. The result shows that the overall psychological capital, achievement motivation and job achievement of university researchers are relatively high in China. Age, the number of articles published in core journals, psychological capital and achievement motivation all affect professional achievement, among which achievement motivation can partially mediate the role of psychological capital in influencing job achievement.

Summary
The realization of job achievement can stimulate workers’ positive working attitude and professional responsibility, and tap their internal work potential. The most widely used definition of teachers’ job achievement in China is proposed by Deng Rui: a kind of inner satisfaction obtained by teachers who give full play to their educational and teaching abilities and realize their self-value and social value in the teaching process (Deng & Wang, 2011). In the talent introduction agreement signed by universities, teachers are required to be “promoted or left”, that is, if they fail to achieve certain scientific research achievements in five years, they will be dismissed. Understanding the overall situation and influencing factors of university workers’ job achievement in China will help to promote the improvement of their job achievement, so as to realize the fundamental task of foster good character and virtue of students
