For social-need, the Malaysian teacher (M = 0.61 logits, SP = 0.30) was also lower than the Indonesian teacher (M = 0.75 logits, SP = 0.48). For political-need, the Malaysian teacher (M = 0.82 logits, SP = 0.36) was also lower than the Indonesian (M = -0.09 logits, SP = 0.62). For economy-need, the Malaysian teacher (M = -0.71 logits, SP = 0.63) was also lower than the Indonesian teacher (M = -0.09 logits, SP = 0.62).
