“…It was also found that the foreign language instructors working at higher education institutions are found to be highly satisfied with their professions. Those results show conformity with several research conducted on this issue so far (Pennington, 1991;Kaski, 2009;Noori et. al., 2014, Bastick, 2000Amengual Pizarro & García Laborda, 2017;Sardana et.…”

Motivation, which is important in teaching, has a positive or bad impact on the teacher's performance, which is reflected in student learning as a result of the fact that teacher qualifications are intimately linked to the quality of teaching. The aim of this study is to examine the motivational status of foreign language instructors working at higher education institutions in Turkey based on their reasons for choosing the profession of teaching, their contentment with it, their self-efficacy beliefs, and student characteristics. A qualitative case study research method was adopted for the research and the data was collected through interviews via Google forms used in a similar study in a different discipline (Tünkler, 2021). It was aimed to shed light on the motivation status of EFL instructors on foreign language teaching. The results show that foreign language instructors are found to be satisfied with their professions and have self-efficacy skills for foreign language teaching. Additionally, their motivation level showed positive correlation with their students’ motivation level and skills.

“…Teachers' job satisfaction and motivation have prompted researchers to engage in studies aiming at identifying the relationship between teachers' motivation and job satisfaction.

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in views between preservice teachers and in-service teachers on their motivation to join the teaching profession. The study used descriptive quantitative approach through the independent sample t test to reach the intended objectives. The sample size consisted of preservice teachers (n=248) and in-service teachers (n=52) from the two teacher’s colleges. The study established that preservice teachers had higher expectations regarding material benefit and convenience, intellectual stimulation as well as continuation of work in familiar settings than the perceived reality by the in-service teachers who are already in the teaching profession. Intellectual stimulation, worthwhile service to society and interpersonal relationship were considered by both the in-service and the preservice teachers as potential benefits from the teaching profession. However, both the in-service and the preservice teachers were undecided whether continuation of work in a familiar setting is a benefit from the teaching profession. While preservice teachers agreed that material benefit and convenient as well as Job Security motivated them to join the teaching profession, the in-service teachers were undecided whether the factors motivated them to join the teaching profession. Finally, there was no significant difference in terms of gender regarding the benefits front he teaching profession by the teachers in training. The study therefore recommends that since the study found that not all the factors are motivators of teachers to join the teaching profession, there is a need to for qualitatively studies to explore further reasons that motivate teachers joining the teaching profession.

“…Although there are many definitions of job satisfaction, there has been no scholarly agreement on the definition (Gkolia et al, 2014). In fact, since it is a multidimensional and dynamic construct (Noori et al, 2014), the definition should change based on the research subject (Gkolia et al, 2014).…”

This study is the first to include four main factors with proven influence on teachers' job satisfaction in a comprehensive model for the UAE: motivation, school leadership style, job characteristics, and cultural intelligence (CQ). The objectives of this empirical study are (a) to provide an overview of the 20 sub-factors associated with each main factor, (b) to determine the preferences and priority that UAE private school teachers attribute to the four main factors of job satisfaction and their 20 sub-factors, and (c) to summarise these findings into a new analytical hierarchical model. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method has been chosen to resolve this multi-criteria decisionmaking dilemma to construct a comprehensive model. 'Recognition', 'pay', and 'autonomy' scored as the teachers' highest concerns. Focusing on these aspects should, therefore, be a priority for private school management in order to decrease teacher turnover.
