Job Factors Associated With Teachers' Motivation to Work

This is a study of job factors associated with teacher motivation to work. Traditional conceptualizations explore job factors associated with teacher motivation from a linking perspective which is highly management-oriented and psychologically manipulative. Recent research on organizational effectiveness and school excellence provides newer perspectives which rely more on qualitative assessment and emphasize job factors which bond people to work and organization. Both linking and bonding theories provide frames of reference for analyzing job factors associated with teacher motivation. A synthesis of both theories was attempted in this study in order to produce a more complete picture of job factors associated with teacher motivation.
