Achievement Craving Disorder
My suggestion
Note from asker:
| Thank you. But I am a little bit concern about "achievement". While the English word has a positive meaning, the Vietnamese word has a pejorative implication. People don't crave for success, but trying only to supply, may be, falsified report for a reward. Something like '(phony) good-results-record-boasting' syndrome?? |

Not an argument. Sources? Or how about an explanation? Perfectionist, or perfectionism is in the common vernacular, so imo it's more appropriate than the other responses, especially considering no context was given.

Example sentence:
In particular, we need to make serious introspection on backward and exotic cultures, the degradation of culture and social ethics, faded revolutionary ideals, social negative and vices, false practices and the disease of achievement… which have spread.
