La théorie des caractéristiques des emplois appliquée à l’étude de la motivation au travail d’enseignants du Nouveau-Brunswick
Keywords:
motivation des enseignants, satisfaction au travail, Job Diagnostic Survey, motivation intrinsèque, conception des emploisAbstract
As a test of the applicability of Job Characteristics Theory in assessing teacher motivation, the creators of the theory invited a sample of New Brunswick teachers to respond to a “Job Diagnostic Survey.” Analysis of variance determined the significance of differences between mean responses when teachers were grouped according to their level of teaching, years of experience, and age. Significant differences were found on several important dimensions of teaching as a job. These findings suggest that the Job Characteristics Theory may be applicable to education and that it offers a new perspective for studies of teacher motivation.
