Abstract

This study investigated the influence of certain human, work condition,and personal factors on primary and secondary school EFL teachers’ workmotivation. The research utilized four data collection instruments (e.g., profile form,semi-structured interviews, field-notes and diaries) to assure the validity of the studythrough triangulation. The participants of the study were comprised of nine primaryand secondary school EFL teachers. The descriptive data from the intrinsic qualitativecase study were sorted by means of semantic maps and analyzed by comparing theirrelatedness to prominent theories of motivation. The findings demonstrated that themain causes of demotivation were parents, administration, students, and workingconditions, which proves that human and working condition variables had a higherimpact on demotivation than personal variables.

Özet

Bu çalışma ilkokulda ve ortaokulda görev yapan İngilizce öğretmenlerinin iş motivasyonu etkileyen bazı insan, çalışma koşulları ve kişisel faktörlerin etkisini araştırmıştır. Araştırmada, çalışmanın geçerliliğini sağlamak için çeşitleme yoluyla dört veri toplama aracı (profil formu, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme, alan notu, günlükler) kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcıları dokuz ilkokul ve ortaokul EFL öğretmeninden oluşmaktadır. İçsel niteliksel örnek olay incelemesinden elde edilen tanımlayıcı veriler semantik haritalarla düzenlenmiş ve ilgili motivasyon teorileriyle olan ilişkileri karşılaştırılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, motivasyonsuzluğun ana nedenlerinin, insan ve çalışma koşulu olduğunu ve bu değişkenlerinin bireysel değişkenlere göre demotivasyon üzerinde daha fazla etkiye sahipliğini kanıtlayan ebeveynler, yönetim, öğrenciler ve çalışma koşulları olduğunu göstermiştir.
