| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to assess factors affecting teachers work motivation in government primary schools in Yeka sub-city in Addis Ababa city administration. In order to meet the objectives of the study, the researcher used a mixed-method approach, especially concurrent mixed-method design, which addresses both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the study. There were 31 primary schools in Yeka sub-city; among those, 10 were selected randomly through lottery method for the study. The target population of the study was primary school teachers, principals, parent-teacher student associations, and sub-city education experts. Among the total population, 295 teachers were selected using simple random sampling method and 31 PTSA members were selected purposively, whereas 14 principals and 2 sub-city education experts were selected using convenience sampling method. The data was collected through self-administered questionnaires filled out by 277 teachers; a semi-structured interview was conducted with 10 school principals and 2 sub-city education experts; and a focus group discussion was conducted with 25 PTSAs. The statistical software for social science (SPSS) version 27 was used to analyze the data. The analysis involves both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study's findings demonstrated that teachers were intrinsically and extrinsically demotivated by certain factors such as poor payment, ineffective organizational leadership, low status of teaching as a profession, poor interpersonal relationships, ineffective supervision, lack of promotion and recognition, etc. Additionally, the result of the research showed that different factors motivate teachers to enter the teaching profession, like temporary employment, greater opportunity for employment in teaching, being more interested in a teaching job than others, etc. The key recommendations to improve teacher work motivation and productivity include respect for the profession, balancing workload with salary, providing necessary resources, enhancing student interest, creating motivational mechanisms, professional development opportunities, fair evaluation, reducing political interference, and ensuring equal treatment and support for teachers, etc. Key words: Motivation, Intrinsic factors, Extrinsic factors, Status, Job satisfaction, Primary school | |
