Subscribe/Renew Journal
The primary function of the school management is to create a successful school. Teachers play an important part in the success of a school. Thus a motivated teacher is an asset to the school. In order to have a policydriven approach to teacher motivation, it is imperative to know how the school management directly influences teacher motivation since it is the school management which frames policies and approaches to manage the school. This study dealt with the factors related to school management that influence motivation of school teachers. The study involved a random sample of teachers from North Bengal (N=111). The sample included a mix of primary, middle and high school teachers of a wide range of schools. The findings were analyzed using SPSS 17.0. A principal component analysis resulted in the emergence of three factors which were termed as humane factors, operational factors and clash factors.Subsequently a principal component regression was conducted using the extracted components as predictors.The findings were analyzed and interpreted in the contextual framework of school management. The study provided a framework for school management to work upon and to design policies,processes and interactive approaches which can help to motivate teachers.
