AN ASSESSMENT OF TEACHER MOTIVATION BASED ON TWO-FACTOR THEORY

This paper is based on an original study carried out to assess hygienemotivation factors prevailing in the workplaces of secondary schoolteachers. The presence of motivators is essential to enhance performance but hygiene factors and motivators are equally important for performance optimisation. Dissatisfaction can be avoided by taking care of the hygiene factors and presence of adequate motivators leads to job satisfaction and progress. This study, though subjective, tries to project the ground realities on the issue of motivation at the schools based on empirical evidences. By having a better understanding of the factors contributing to the phenomenon, decision makers will be better able to structure the policies and derive best results.
