Abstract Details

2012, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, EDU Policy and Leadership.
In order to depict a better picture of teacher motivation, the researcher developed the theoretical framework based on Deci and Ryan’s (1985) self-determination theory (SDT) and examined factors affecting teachers’ autonomous motivation at both the personal and school level. Several multilevel structural equation models (ML-SEM) were applied to examine the 2007-08 Schools and Staffing Survey data. The results suggested that teachers’ resilience and integrated regulation promoted their commitment. Teachers’ content competency, perceived collaboration and school support, and classroom autonomy were found to effectively motivate them. At the school level, principal control and teacher participation were revealed to have moderating effects on teachers’ autonomous motivation.
