Examining the relationship between the school climate and motivation of teachers who work in primary and secondary schools

Abstract

Since this study aims to examine the relationship between the motivation levels of teachers working in primary, secondary and high schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in TRNC and their views on school climate, a relational scanning model, one of the descriptive research methods, was used in this study. The universe of this study consists of 3868 teachers studying in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Primary Education and General Secondary Education schools. A total of 208 teachers working in schools in Nicosia, Famagusta, Güzelyurt and Girne were included in the sample group. The data collected with the help of scales in the study were analysed by statistical methods of "Correlation", "Regression", "KruskalWallis H", "Mann-Whitney U" and Spearman correlation techniques. The value of 0.371, calculated as a correlation coefficient between teachers' school climate and teacher motivation, indicates that the relationship between the variables is at a positive and medium level.
