Abstract

Motivation is the key to success in educational institutions, and it empowers a teacher to work with an affection that contributes to the accomplishment of hierarchical objectives. Yet, what drives school teachers to be pleased or motivated to achieve exceptional performance? This contemplation must be considered thoroughly in different regions with different predictors. Therefore, this study aims to identify the factors influencing teachers’ motivation and evaluate the influence of motivation on teachers’ job performance in private schools in Mirpurkhas, Pakistan. We use quantitative statistics and a partial least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM analysis) design; the data was collected through a survey questionnaire. We found that motivation significantly influences teachers’ job performance. The study revealed that self-determined and non-self-determined motivation and factors influencing teachers’ motivation significantly impact teachers’ job performance. The administration must formulate teachers’ motivational policies and practices to meet their needs. Furthermore, school administrations should provide adequate resources like bonuses, rewards, good communication, moral support, emotional support, and an increment in salaries to ensure quality learning and yield high performance from their teaching staff to improve the relevant education system.
