A theoretical analysis of educator motivation and morale

Abstract

For various reasons educator morale and motivation have been the focus of considerable \nattention. Several factors have been attributed as underlying causes of low morale and \npoor motivation among staff in the teaching profession. If educator performance in \nschools is to be improved, it is necessary to pay attention to the kind of work environment \nthat enhances educators' sense of professionalism and increases their morale and \nmotivation. A distinction is made between the motivation and the morale of individuals. \nThis article briefly outlines the factors identified in studies that influence the morale and \nmotivation of educators. Attention is also paid to models of motivation which have been \ndeveloped to understand the motivation of staff. These models provide the foundation on \nwhich a general model for motivation can be developed that serves as a means to \nunderstand the motivation process.
