Representation of Causes of Reducing the Job Motivation of Teachers to perform Occupational Activities: A Phenomenological Study
Lack of job motivation is the most important cause of reduced quality of professional performance. Field evidence indicates a dramatic reduction in teacher’s motivation. This study aims to represent the teachers’ perceptions and lived experiences about the causes of teachers’ motivation reduction. By using a qualitative approach and a descriptive phenomenological method, an effort has been made to reconstruct teachers’ perceptions of the causes of loss of motivation. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Having used purposeful sampling and chain sampling, and through 20 interviews with teachers, data saturation was achieved. Deep analysis of the teachers’ lived experiences led to the identification and classification of the five major categories of motivation reduction factors. These five factors are: “educational issues”; “internal organizational issues”; “economic issues”; “social issues”; and “personal and family issues.The Results showed that each teacher faces many different challenges in the field of education and professional activities, and lack of attention to improving their status can lead to a major risk in the educational system and in particular the dynamism and development of the society in the near future.
