ABSTRACT

Motivation is a critical psychological factor that influences teachers’ behaviour and performance in educational settings. This study aims to examine the impact of motivation on teachers’ work performance and explore the underlying factors that drive their engagement and effectiveness. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data collected through structured questionnaires with qualitative insights from in-depth interviews with teachers in two public nine-year schools in Elbasan. The findings indicate that high levels of motivation are strongly associated with improved teaching performance, classroom management, and overall professional engagement. Additionally, qualitative results reveal that supportive leadership, positive school climate, and recognition of teachers’ contributions enhance motivation and reduce work-related stress and fatigue. This study contributes to educational practice by highlighting the pivotal role of motivation in promoting teacher effectiveness and improving student outcomes, emphasizing the importance of fostering a motivating and supportive school environment.
