The general purpose of the study was to assess the motivation for a sample of anglophone school teachers using the complete "Job Characteristics Model" designed by Hackman and Oldham (1980). The findings revealed that the schools were very homogeneous. In the core job characteristics, autonomy was the most important motivating factor for teachers, followed by task significance, skill variety, feedback from the job and lastly task identity. In the critical psychological states, experienced meaningful of the work was the highest degree, followed by experienced responsibility for outcomes of the work, and knowledge of results of the work activities. Other dimensions revealed that dealing with others had a relatively high score, followed closely by internal work motivation, an outcome factor of the theory, and finally that feedback from agents was the lowest score. The motivating potential score of 174, out of a possible 343, reflected the overall potential of a job to foster internal work motivation on the part of the teacher. |
