| Abstract | This research aims at examining teachers' motivational factors bylooking at job satisfaction of university teachers teaching EFL in a Thai contextand giving suggestions to maintain and enhance teacher motivation level. Thequestionnaires containing closed and open-ended statements were used togather the quantitative and qualitative data from two groups of respondentsconsisting of 28 Thai and 21 native speakers of English (NS) who were fulltime EFL teachers at universities in Thailand. The results from thequestionnaires revealed that both groups of EFL teachers were mainlymotivated by intrinsic factors, especially those related to students such asimparting knowledge and helping students to succeed. On the other hand,issues related to institutional support such as unfair treatment, unclear rules,and muddled communication were found to be major demotivators. Theresults are further discussed in relation to the Self-Determination Theory(SDT). Based on the findings, recommendations for maintaining and enhancingteacher motivation level are made; so too are limitations of the study andsuggestions for future research discussed towards the end of the paper. |
