The teacher plays a central role in the learning â€“ process of the pupils. Hence the need to have a high work motivation arises to facilitate the same with all earnestness and sincerity on part of him. One may safely say that the want of work motivation does more harm in the teaching profession than in any other, because the stamp of perfunctoriness tends to be impressed upon the very material upon which the teacher works. In schools, motivation among teachers is essential for their better performance in the classrooms and of course the overall academic development of the students. Thus, to achieve the learning objectives and reach, a reasonable standard, educational institutions should keep a close tab on the motivation level of the teacher. Though there are some studies being undertaken in the areas of work motivation and teacher performance, they are fraught with several inconsistencies. However, this book on work motivation among the teachers exclusively studies the different level of motivation among the teachers of Govt. schools on various dimensions such as dependence, work group relations etc. Regardless to say, the present book opens up a new vista which may help the educational planners, teachers and administrators to identify the factors responsible for creating a conductive learning atmosphere in schools.
