Impact of Decision-Making Practices on The Work Motivation of College Teachers
Keywords:
Work motivation, Decision making practices, College teachersAbstract
Motivated teachers are more innovative, efficient, and engaged, which is crucial to educational achievement. Managerial decision-making methods and college teacher motivation in Bhakkar were examined in this research study. The aims were to examine existing decision-making methods, measure teacher job motivation, and identify how they affect it. A self-designed 45-item questionnaire was used for quantitative survey research. From 342 male and female college teachers, 185 were randomly chosen to gather data. Experts' evaluation and Cronbach's alpha of 0.85 guaranteed the questionnaire's reliability and content validity. Descriptive and inferential analysis were done. Most respondents believed that academics participate in decision-making and considered the procedures transparent and inclusive. Many said the institution encourages diversity and felt empowered to make choices. Most said the decision-making procedures are fair and efficient. A large proportion of respondents were passionate about their employment and found it meaningful. Salary and perks motivated fewer responders. Significant beneficial influence of decision-making methods on work motivation was found (F = 400.721, p <.025), with decision predicting work motivation. It is recommended that, school administrators should use more inclusive and participatory decision-making and provide frequent training and professional development to keep employees motivated and satisfied.
