Development of Motivation Scale for Teachers

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to develop a motivation scale for teachers. The scale is developed based on Herzberg's two factor motivation theory. Initially constructed motivation scale has 51 items and was administered to 150 teachers. The explanatory factor analysis is conducted to identify the factors in the motivation scale. Four factors are identified as a result of the analysis. Four factors explained 60.9 percent of the total variance. Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficients varied between 0.811 and 0.904. The results indicated a reliable and valid motivation scale that can be used to measure teachers’ motivation in Turkish
