Motivation Role of the Operational Manager's Opportunities to School Business Performance

Abstract

The school cooperative movement in Malaysia has shown an increasing trend in the annual income, but there are still school cooperatives that have failed to achieve the proper performance. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of the motivation of the cooperative manager's work on the success of the school cooperative business. The business success factors in this study are based on McKinsey 7S Model and Marketing Theory. Quantitative approaches with non-experimental designs were used in this study. The sample selection was conducted on a stratified random sample (layared) involving 211 Co-operative Board Members from school teachers from all over Sabah. The instrument used was a modified questionnaire from several previous researchers related to the factors of school cooperative success. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inference analysis. Descriptive analysis described respondents' backgrounds and school cooperative backgrounds, while inference statistics were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM), which described the effect of all the independent variables on the dependent variables. The findings show that work motivation factors have a significant relationship with the success of the school cooperative business. The findings of the study show that work motivation factors have an impact on cooperative performance. The implications of this study indicate that motivational factors of managerial work affect the performance of school cooperative business in Malaysia.

“…This demonstrates the significance of students' involvement in the planning, management, and organization of school co-operatives with teachers. While Ewang, Abidin, & Rustam (2020) in their research emphasize the role of teachers as the co-operative managers, may influence the performance of school co-operative. They indicate that the more positive the motivation of a school cooperative manager, the better the business performance of the school co-operative.…”
