Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a measurement tool that determinesthe motivation levels of teachers based on selected motivation theories. In thiscontext, the measurement tool was prepared based on Herzberg’s Two FactorTheory, McClelland’s Theory of Needs, and Vroom’s Expectancy Theory. Within thescope of the study, validity and reliability studies were conducted. For researchvalidity; expert opinion was received, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) andConfirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted. EFA was performed with agroup of 272 teachers and CFA was performed on a different working group of 417teachers. Working groups were determined based on maximum diversity samplingmethod. According to the results of the structure validity of the research; the scalehas five-factor structure consisting of 33 items. These factors were determined as“need”, “belief”, “power”, “encouragement”, and “achievement” respectively. It wasconcluded that this five-factor scale explained 66.21% of the variance. As a result ofthe CFA application, it has been observed that the scale shows good fit values ingeneral. As a result of the applications and analyzes, it can be said that the scale is avalid and reliable scale and it has sufficient values in terms of psychometry.
