Influence of motivation on teachers’ job performance

ABSTRACT Motivation is the key to success in educational institutions, and it empowers a teacher to work with an affection that contributes to the accomplishment of hierarchical objectives.

Yet, what drives school teachers to be pleased or motivated to achieve exceptional performance? This contemplation must be considered thoroughly in different regions with different

predictors. Therefore, this study aims to identify the factors influencing teachers’ motivation and evaluate the influence of motivation on teachers’ job performance in private schools in

Mirpurkhas, Pakistan. We use quantitative statistics and a partial least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM analysis) design; the data was collected through a survey

questionnaire. We found that motivation significantly influences teachers’ job performance. The study revealed that self-determined and non-self-determined motivation and factors influencing

teachers’ motivation significantly impact teachers’ job performance. The administration must formulate teachers’ motivational policies and practices to meet their needs. Furthermore, school

administrations should provide adequate resources like bonuses, rewards, good communication, moral support, emotional support, and an increment in salaries to ensure quality learning and

yield high performance from their teaching staff to improve the relevant education system. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MANAGERIAL STRATEGIES FOR ENHANCING

INTRODUCTION Some of the country’s leading educational institutions have recently established teaching excellence centers, focusing on supporting and improving learning materials to produce

optimal teaching strategies and processes. Consequently, quality education is becoming a more critical concern in the educational world in recent years. This research adopts the

self-determination theory (SDT) put forward by Ryan and Deci (2000b) as a model that can be implemented in the motivation and performance of teachers in Pakistani schools. SDT can be more

emphasized with its factors named self-determined and non-self-determined motivation. It is important to note that SDT distinguishes between regulated and independent motivation. A school

with good motivation strategies can ensure harmony, prosperity, and increased student enrollment. Correspondingly, the teacher’s positive behavior related to teaching increases their level

of understanding and interest, eventually improving their job performance. According to Hanus and Fox (2015), motivation is a process that drives individuals to move toward accomplishing a

goal. It is the key to success for every educational institution and empowers a teacher to work with an affection that contributes to accomplishing hierarchical objectives. They recommended

incentivizing teachers to motivate them to achieve the most outstanding results. According to Inayatullah and Jehangir (2012), head teachers’ unfavorable work environment and inadequate

leadership abilities were to blame for the low motivation of teachers. According to Nawaz and Yasin (2015), factors including a weak appraisal system, small class sizes, a shortage of staff

rooms, and a lack of educational resources all impact how motivated secondary school teachers are. Lack of professional development opportunities and job security further affect teachers’

intrinsic motivation (Sajid et al., 2018). Being a developing nation, Pakistan has made significant efforts in recent years to expand the general education system and school education. The

School Education and Literacy Department is in charge of overseeing school education in Pakistan’s Sindh province. There is evidence that the instructors in Sindh province generally lack

intrinsic motivation, negatively impacting teacher performance and student learning (F. Shaikh, 2012). Recent reports show Sindh province’s school system is inferior (Saleem, 2020). The

teaching profession evolved into a launching pad for young people. It should be noted that internal administration and leadership largely determine the nature of the school environment. The

school principal or controller of education, acting as the Chief Executive, must understand and acknowledge that people can produce results. Therefore, understanding the employees’

motivation is central to each organization (Onen and Maicibi, 2004). It is necessary to understand their factors to train high-quality teachers, acting as a motivational tool. Based on

several studies, employees can be motivated in two ways, internal and external, derived from different distinctive forms of rewards. Internal motivation drives oneself for self-satisfaction,

also known as self-determined motivation. According to Collie and Martin (2017), teacher motivation can be defined as the primary motive for teachers’ engagement in teaching, which might

vary in how self-determined they are (Ryan and Deci, 2000a). In contrast, external motivation exists when a person is influenced to receive monetary compensation and achievement, known as

non-self-determined motivation. Motivating individuals in an organization is essential because it can encourage people’s behavior and actions regarding perceived goals. As believed by Panda

and Mohanty (2003), it is generally accepted that teachers’ job performance plays a significant role in terms of the educational learning of students and their academic performance. In the

present economic world, where competitiveness is at its peak, employers have realized that teachers’ job performance plays a vital role in schools’ move toward success. Also, various kinds

of employee-related decisions, including job promotion, rotation, job enrichment, and job security, can be measured at all organizational levels regarding performance (Tan Mullins, 2020).

Despite the significance of motivation in excellent education in an era of profound transition toward the more learning-oriented approach, empirical research on the motivational components

of teachers has gotten very little attention. However, the researchers discovered a favorable association between instructors’ motivation and job performance and a statistically significant

relationship between their motivation and performance (Akhtar et al., 2017). An investigation into the educational system in Pakistan also looked at the connection between employee

performance and the efficiency of training, and intrinsic motivation. The sample used here included staff from both private and public schools, and it revealed that employee behavior varied

depending on their demographics and work environment. However, more research is still needed (Shahzadi et al., 2014). In schools, teachers lack motivation, and as a result, they are less

prepared, directly influencing students and the educational structure. In Sindh, Pakistan, few studies have been conducted on teacher recognition in private-sector schools. As a result, the

primary goal of this study was to investigate the impact of teachers’ motivation on teachers’ job performance to assist in the attainment of educational excellence in private schools. In the

past, studies have been done in different sectors of Pakistan and other regions. Still, in Mirpurkhas city of Pakistan, there seems to be a research gap concerning the educational sector

because this study is not performed before since there is no high competition has been seen. Hence, teachers get little attention, so their performance might be compromised. This study will

fill this gap by identifying factors that motivate teachers and influence teachers’ job performance and how they can be effectively implemented to increase teachers’ job performance in the

Mirpurkhas City of Pakistan and can increase the quality of education. From this perspective, this research endeavors to recognize the influence of motivation on teachers’ job performance in

Pakistan, keeping in mind the end goal to address issues emerging from motivational methodologies in educational settings. The research model and hypotheses were examined using data from

the Mirpurkhas, Sindh, Pakistan private schools, based on a literature review from earlier related studies. Therefore, this study aims to answer three research questions: (1) How does

self-determined motivation contribute to teachers’ job performance at private schools? (2) How does non-self-determined motivation affects teachers’ job performance at private schools? And

(3) To what extent do factors influencing teachers’ motivation impact the teachers’ job performance in private schools? To answer these questions, the quantitative method is used in this

study. A questionnaire has been adopted to gather relevant information that can be utilized to assess the influence of motivation on teachers’ job performance. Therefore, it is crucial to

investigate the impact of motivation on teachers’ job performance and factors affecting teachers’ motivation to restore the situation. The study will be meaningful to educational policy

formulators and other participants who will be able to incorporate the motivational factors and their effect on job performance in Pakistan. Implanting the best possible human resources

practices relating to the dilemma of teachers’ motivation, stipulating reforms in educational policies for addressing evolving matters in the arena. LITERATURE REVIEW The literature review

explains the research process. The first step in empirically examining the planned research was identifying the factors. Various resources were reviewed for this goal to find motivation and

job performance elements. Pakistan gained independence in 1947, and its entire educational system was designed to develop a class of people who intended to work for the bureaucracy to

maintain the country’s old socioeconomic structure. The colonial powers established the socioeconomic framework to exploit the subcontinent’s inhabitants. Pakistan has made considerable

progress toward the goal of universal primary education. Still, significant inequalities in learning levels continue between public and private schools and between rural and urban areas. The

diversity in teaching quality between educational institutions is one of the primary causes of these inequities. Among the many issues is a shortage of skilled teachers, particularly topic

specialists, inequality in the distribution of teachers throughout schools, school personnel, low teacher accountability, and inadequate training opportunities and incentive systems. In

Pakistan, a lack of chances and incentives for professional development and career advancement has made teaching an unappealing career choice. High teacher turnover and a lengthy replacement

process worsen teacher deployment issues in schools with low status, low wages, and insufficient working conditions. To remove gaps in pupil-teacher ratios and diminish multi-grade

teaching, a more regular spatial pattern of teachers is required throughout school levels and schools at each level. Schools in major urban areas frequently have excess teachers, whereas

schools in socioeconomically poor areas have teacher shortages. The primary purpose of the examination was to discover a structure and several often expressed elements. Despite the

substantial research on motivational dynamics on teacher effectiveness, several areas remain unexplored, opening up various study possibilities. Self-determined, non-self-determined, and

factors affecting teachers’ motivation are possible important terms that reflect teachers’ desire to learn and incorporate new information. According to de Jesus and Lens (2005), teacher

motivation is critical for educational managers and leaders since it impacts student motivation. The teacher’s performance will be at its highest level in carrying out their responsibilities

if motivation is maintained (Brandmiller et al., 2020). The way a person reacts to their environment at work determines their basis. Whether partially or concurrently, work motivation has a

good and significant impact on teachers’ performance (Rofifah et al., 2021). It is believed that intrinsically motivated teachers concentrate on the benefits of activities directly related

to teaching, emphasizing the intrinsic satisfaction they derive from their work. On the other hand, Extrinsically driven teachers are more likely to seek out other perks such as time off,

income, and other extrinsic rewards associated with their profession. The impact of intrinsic motivation on teacher job performance was discovered in Mary’s (2010) research. The findings

revealed a significant positive association between intrinsic motivation and teachers’ job performance, implying that as intrinsic motivation rises, so does teachers’ job performance. While

S.H. Shaikh et al. (2019) in research paper found that all external factors positively and significantly impact employees. This survey provides extensive information on the importance of

external factors in illuminating employees’ job performance. Obilade (1999) concluded that a teacher’s work performance may be defined as the tasks and obligations a teacher fulfils at a

given time to achieve objectives and goals in the educational system (Aktar et al., 2012) conducted studies on the impact of rewards on employees’ performance in Bangladesh. The findings

revealed a positive relationship between rewards and employees’ performance and showed a highly positive significance in the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic rewards.

Furthermore, Tasya and Gilang (2020) conducted a study, and the results showed that motivation significantly impacts employee performance. Moreover, Nurun Nabi et al. (2017) found that if

employees are positively motivated, their effectiveness and efficiency can be significantly improved to accomplish organizational goals. Other studies conducted by Nurun Nabi et al. (2017),

Robescu and Iancu (2016), and Somsa-ard (2016) have recognized the rationale of work motivation on employees’ performance. However, they are limited in scope as they consist of a single

organization and accumulate results based on a small sample size and descriptive statistics. The demands for satisfying motivating requirements have not been met, and most teachers tend to

feel less motivated by motivational phenomena (Rodrigo and Palacios, 2021). This is a result of the education administration system’s ineffective implementation, particularly concerning the

education administration system’s prioritization of the quality of human resources, specifically for teachers, who still do not meet the requirements to support initiatives to enhance

performance and the level of education (Kudasheva et al., 2015). According to the literature review, researchers have focused on a few factors. However, there is still a need to include

other factors, such as self-determined motivation, non-self-determined motivation, and factors influencing teachers’ motivation. Therefore, the proposed research will fill this gap and

examine how these factors influence teachers’ job performance in private schools. MOTIVATION AND TEACHERS’ JOB PERFORMANCE Modern technological advancement and economic policies have

redesigned teachers’ and students’ roles in Pakistan’s educational sector. Educational institutions face significant problems regarding theories, practices, methods, and concepts. Motivation

is perhaps the essential element that the educational sector considers to enhance learning. Teachers’ needs must be carefully considered for a country to achieve high-quality standards

(Ofojebe and Ezugoh, 2010). The future of our education system rests in the hands of teachers, who have to learn and determine the quality of the instruction given to learners. A teacher who

is driven at work will therefore make every effort to finish the responsibilities assigned to him by his superiors. A highly motivated teacher will attempt to accomplish his goals and

complete the task in the interim. Competence, motivation, and the learning environment either directly or indirectly have a favorable and significant impact on teacher performance and

antecedent relationship variables on educational quality. Including how well instructors perform and how that affects the standard of education (Mulang, 2021). Maslow stated (Sutrisno and

Sunarsi, 2019) that the motivation is to create the driving force behind the stimulation of work to collaborate, work effectively, and integrate into their job satisfaction efforts. However,

Matsson and Dahlqvist (2013) assert that motivation is an essential tool for improving and retaining employee performance in the organization. According to Herzberg and others (1968),

motivational factors are related to the capacity of the job, such as job challenges, responsibilities, achievements, remembrance, promotion, responsibility, and growth. These factors affect

personal motivation, performance, or satisfaction (Ott, 1989). According to Aworemi et al. (2011), when employees are interested and happy in their work, they are motivated and perform well.

The well-known psychologists Edward Deci and Richard Ryan proposed the theory of self-determination in 1985. They revolutionized a motivation theory that posits that individuals tend to

become influenced by achievement and growth needs. SDT connects individual motivation, personality (Ryan and Deci, 2000b), and optimal function (Ryan and Deci, 2000b). It proposes two

essential kinds of motivation, namely self-determined motivation and non-self-determined motivation, which tend to have strong forces that build ourselves and how we behave (Deci and Ryan,

2004). DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIAL VARIABLES SELF-DETERMINED MOTIVATION (SDM) Self-determined motivation is an essential element of SDT given by Ryan and Deci (2000) that explores individual

motivation and personality concerned with how individuals act regarding the social environment. Intrinsic motivation prevails in work and brings individuals personal satisfaction, such as

spending preference, empowerment, trust, autonomy, and recognition (Benati and Coccia, 2018). Self-determined motivation (SDM) incorporates intrinsic motivation. It drives the idea of

intrinsic motivation, which highlights how an individual responds in different situations and assists in developing one’s cognitive capabilities and identified regulation (IDEN). Which is

concerned with carrying out an activity because people tend to recognize its meaning and worth and consider it its act, while the integrated principle (INTEG) is one in which individuals

recognize the value of the activity to such an extent that it becomes part of their self. It involves various factors based on the assumption that teachers actively acclimate themselves for

personal growth and competence, enabling them to perform tasks with greater interest and pleasure. NON-SELF-DETERMINED MOTIVATION (NSDM) Non-self-determined motivation is a component of SDT

(Ryan and Deci, 2000b), which undermines the concept of individuals’ extrinsic motivation. It expounds that individuals behave to obtain something from outside or due to coercive pressures

(Emeka et al., 2015). They suggested that outside factors tend to increase the motivation of employees, which eventually improves job performance positively, concerning an increase in

productivity. A teacher is said to be non-self-determined and motivated when he performs to earn money, achieve, or meet the expectations of others. Non-self-determined motivation (NSDM)

includes Amotivation (AMO), which is placed at number one. Individuals either have no willingness to act or take passive or submissive action. Following external regulation (ER) is to

perform the activities with the expectation of obtaining external rewards. Next is introjected regulation (INTRO); the behavior is modified by self-worth conditions such as modesty or

self-esteem. Teachers engaging in tasks or activities external to them and putting them into action for achieving some reward or instrumental reason are referred to as non-self-determined

motivation. FACTORS INFLUENCING TEACHERS’ MOTIVATION (FITM) Teachers’ motivation plays a significant role in advancing teaching and learning excellence. Diverse motivational variables

influence teachers’ job performance and can help them stay employed for a long time, such as a fair promotion system, strong leadership practices, and a reward system. Training and

development are concerned with providing training opportunities to improve skills. At the same time, situational work factors refer to a good working environment and good educational

policies to motivate teachers and improve their job performance. Toth et al. (2000) argued that the administration must establish an environment where teachers feel highly motivated and

valuable. HYPOTHESIS DEVELOPMENT AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Based on past studies, the following hypotheses are proposed in this study H1: Self-Determined motivation has a relationship with

teachers’ job performance. H2: Non-self-determined motivation has an impact on teachers’ job performance. H3: Factors influencing teachers’ motivation impact teachers’ job performance.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY RESEARCH DESIGN, SAMPLING SIZE, AND DATA The study aimed to unveil the influence of motivation on teachers’ job performance at private schools; the reason for choosing

private schools was the massive competition among the private schools in Mirpurkhas city, as it will be easy for policymakers to implement the recommendations. The study adopted primarily

quantitative research methodology by descriptive-correlation type. The study has adopted a survey questionnaire as a primary data collection technique by keeping the research objectives in

view. Additionally, secondary data was acquired from books, the internet, reports, and journals. Figure 1, depicts the conceptual framework. When selecting tools for research in the study,

the researcher made sure that the chosen instruments were suitable by considering the literacy level and accessibility of the target respondents. Data was collected from the Mirpurkhas City

of, Pakistan, and private school teachers in the region were targeted in this research. The estimated known population of 52 schools consisted of 606 teachers. The researcher selected 37

registered private schools based on random sampling. According to the PLS-SEM sample size rule of thumb with 0.8 statistical significance, the minimum sample size was 153. To produce more

accurate results, the researcher disseminated 433 questionnaires in the 37 schools, of which 405 filled questionnaires were received. The questionnaire was written in English, which teachers

easily understand per their qualifications. The researcher provided a questionnaire to respondents and gave them adequate time to complete the questionnaire. The purpose was to help the

respondents by clarifying the questions and overcoming the difficulty in items to acquire a reasonable response rate. The questionnaire is divided into two sections; the first section

incorporates respondents’ demographic information (e.g., age, gender, marital status, and qualification). At the same time, the second section included variables that consisted of 35 items

segregated into four different components, including self-determined motivation, non-self-determined motivation, factors influencing teachers’ motivation, and job performance. Table 1

depicts the demographic information of respondents. MEASUREMENT OF VARIABLES This study incorporated four variables, whereas the indicators and scales used in this study are adopted with

slight modifications from previous literature as they are ingrained in their corresponding arena. Seven Point Likert Scale has been used to collect the responses (ranging from 1 representing

“strongly disagree” to 7 representing “strongly agree”) to measure the items of a particular research variable. Seven-point Likert scales are more valid, easy to use, and representative of

respondents’ actual opinions. Considering these advantages, 7-point questions are the ideal choice for surveys like those used in different fields of study, particularly in comparison with

higher-order items. Lewis (1993) discovered that 7-point scales had a stronger relationship with _t_-test findings. The questionnaire is composed of a total of 35 questions and is divided

into different sections. The scale and instrument of the questionnaire on motivation, which contains 14 items that comprise self-determined motivation and non-self-determined motivation,

were adapted from Blais inventory of work motivation (BIWM) given by Tremblay et al. (2009) with slight modification and omnibus survey of Canadian Forces (CF). The factors influencing

teachers’ motivation consist of 12 items adopted from other studies (Nyakundi, 2012). At the same time, the job performance contained nine items and was adapted from the psychometric scale

(Gerbing and Anderson, 1988). DATA ANALYSIS AND RESULTS The study was endorsed by applying a quantitative analysis method in which empirical values are mathematically presented and

manipulated to identify and explain the occurrence reflected by those observations (Babbie, 2004). The researcher applied statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) for presentation,

summary, and reporting to calculate descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression. Further confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used for the path analysis through structural equation

model (SEM) and FIMIX-PLS analysis using Smart PLS to accomplish research objectives. DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS AND CORRELATION Table 2 demonstrates the descriptive statistics and Pearson

correlation of all four variables with each other. As the correlation table shows all the positive values, the results indicate all independent variables have a positive relationship with

the dependent variable. The dependent variable job performance is positively associated with self-determined motivation (_r_ = 0.374, _p_ < 0.01) and follows a strong relationship with

non-self-determined motivation (_r_ = 0.622, _p_ < 0.01) and a significant relationship with factors influencing teachers’ motivation (_r_ = 0.424, _p_ < 0.01). Correlation values are

not >0.80, indicating that no multicollinearity exists. While mean values lie in the range of 5.86–6.05, which shows that mean values are more significant than mean values, and standard

deviation lies between 0.81 and 0.77, which is an indication of low standard deviation and means that responses do not deviate from the mean and they are close to mean. STRUCTURAL EQUATION

MODEL According to Hoyle (1995), structural equation modeling (SEM) is considered a comprehensive statistical modeling tool to examine multivariate data related to problematic relationships

between variables. According to Gerbing and Anderson (1988), the confirmatory factor analysis is to understand the path analysis of the structural model and check the measurement model.

According to Wold et al. (2006), the structural model incorporates a PLS algorithm, and the measurement model consists of PLS bootstrapping. The PLS algorithm determines the validity and

reliability of data. It generates the factor loading of all the variables to determine the relationship between variables, while PLS bootstrapping is considered a nonparametric process

proposed by Efron and Tibshirani (1997) and Hinkin (1998). It is used for statistical testing the significance of different SEM results such as _R_ square values, _t_-statistics, beta and

path coefficients and _p_-values. RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY ANALYSIS This study is supported by applying different analysis methods to test reliability and validity, such as reliability and

validity analysis and discriminant validity. The output illustrated in Table 3 shows the reliability test of all the variables. However, Cronbach’s alpha value >0.8, shown in Fig. 2, also

reflects the excellent acceptance of the data and ensures internal consistency in the responses (Bland and Altman, 1997). Cronbach alpha’s value lies between 0.834 and 0.910, more

significant than the threshold value suggested by Hinkin (1998) and reveals excellent data consistency. The rho_A and composite reliability values are between 0.868 and 0.915, which is

higher than the reference value recommended by Nunnally (1994). According to Hair et al. (2014), the value of AVE should be >0.5, which shows the existence of convergent validity among

the data, and it also indicates that at least 50% of the variance was acquired by the constructs as suggested by Bagozzi and Yi (1988) and Chin, others (1998). Hence all four variables

possess more than their threshold values and provide excellent data validity. Table 4 illustrates the discriminant validity. According to Carmines and Zeller (1979), Discriminant validity

can be described as a single construct that differs from other model constructs. The Heterotrait–Monotrait (HTMT) ratio was used to calculate discriminant validity. According to research,

the HTMT ratio, which has two different cutoff values of 0.85 or 0.90 for interpreting the ratio, is a superior option to test discriminant validity than the frequently employed

Fornell–Larcker criterion (Henseler et al., 2016). All values were significantly lower than this tolerance threshold, which we used as a cutoff value of 0.85 to establish the discriminant

validity of our results (see Table 4). In light of this, the measuring model showed acceptable convergent validity, reliability, and discriminant validity. The results of the exploratory

factor analysis are referred to as the measurement model for all latent variables, followed by factor loading for all variables, as depicted in Fig. 2, which is accomplished using smart PLS.

The study consists of four variables, SDM, NSDM, FITM, and JP, including 34 items. According to Hair et al. (2014), things having factor loading below 0.50 should be removed from the model.

By considering this measurement level, all the items have more than 0.50 loading except one item. The figure shows the coefficient of determination _R_ Square for the dependent variable job

performance is 0.463, which means that all the other independent variables, such as SDM, NSDM, and FITM, explain 46.3% of job performance variance is linked with motivation and can be

predicted from them. While NSDM with 49.7% variation in JP, FITM with 21.8% variation in JP, and SDM with 13.2% variation in JP. Therefore, the results indicate that the hypothetical path

relationship between SDM, NSDM, and FITM with JP is statistically significant. Moreover, the effect size suggested by Cohen (1988) is as follows: 0.02–0.12, weak; 0.13–0.25, moderate; and

0.26 and above, substantial. Results in Table 5 show that NSDM and FITM have significant effect sizes, whereas NSDM has a small effect size. Furthermore, bootstrapping of all four variables

was performed on the smart PLS. Bootstrapping is done to generate _T_-values and test the study’s hypothesis along with the confidence interval for all the indicators of the constructs.

Following the results exhibited, the _T_-value of SDM is 3.225 > 1.96, and the _p_-value of <0.05 reveals positive and significant results and validates H1, while the _T_-value of NSDM

is 8.745 > 1.96 with significant _p_-value and shows the significant relationship and supports H2. Moreover, FITM has an immense influence on teachers’ job performance, with a _T_-value

of 4.348 > 1.96 and a significant _p_-value as per our assumption, thus validating H3. Hence, all results show the positive and strong relationship of JP with SDM, NSDM, and FITM and

reveal that motivation exceptionally contributes to improving teachers’ job performance concerning developing interest at work, job security, job satisfaction, rewards, performance appraisal

and training and development and therefore improving the overall educational system. FIMIX-PLS ANALYSIS Hahn et al. (2002) created the FIMIX-PLS methodology to measure the heterogeneity of

a predetermined number of segments following the validation of the measurement and structural models. The FIMIX-PLS procedure (Mikalef et al., 2020; Sarstedt et al., 2022) has been employed

by multiple researchers to distinguish groups. It makes it possible to recognize unobserved heterogeneity and classify groups that can then be used for multigroup analysis. Drawing on the

idea of mixture regression, FIMIX-PLS has been developed as a solution to simultaneously estimate group-specific path coefficients and determine each individual’s segment membership (Ringle

et al., 2009; Sarstedt et al., 2016). This method is the only one to provide researchers with the ability to determine how many segments should be extracted from the data, making it a

critical tool in the process (Sarstedt et al., 2017). Each observation is given towards the Segment with the highest probability by the multi-stage method called FIMIX-PLS, which shows

undetected heterogeneity. Since the total number of segments is initially unknown, the first step is to determine the ideal number by following the G power method, the required number of the

sample at the 5% significance level (Cohen, 1992). By dividing the sample size by 55, we have 405/55 405/55, which equals a maximum of 7.36 segments (~7). The absence of heterogeneity is

required to combat incorrect interpretation (Becker et al., 2013; Jedidi et al., 1997). We simultaneously confirm the unobserved heterogeneity due to Hypothesis 3. With the use of PLS-SEM,

there are numerous ways to find unobserved heterogeneity. The best strategy, according to Hair et al. (2017); Sarstedt et al. (2011), is FIMIX-PLS (Hahn et al., 2002; Hair et al., 2021;

Matthews et al., 2016) calculated in Tables 6 and 7. It is necessary to stay away from the local best solution (Sarstedt et al., 2011). Results for segment sizes ranging from one to seven

were computed using FIMIX-PLS. Initially, the FIMIX-PLS algorithm is performed with a one-segment model for increasing segments. There is a requirement for a two-segment solution even if

BIC, AIC, AIC3, and CAIC have a sufficient number of over-segmentation propensity (Sarstedt et al., 2011). The normed entropy (en) criterion demonstrates the best outcome with two segments

(0.515). PLS-SEM results for the large and small segments are noticeably different. Segment 1 has a substantially more significant correlation (0.752) between non-self-determined motivation

and job performance than segment 2. (0.302). Compared to segment 1, the association between factors affecting teachers’ motivation and job performance was substantially stronger (0.18) in

section 2 (0.138). Segment 2 (0.183) has a stronger correlation between self-determination motivation and job performance than Segment 1. (0.108). Total effect results demonstrate that

non-self-determined motivation is less significant with job performance in Segment 2 (0.752) than in Segment 1. Factors influencing teachers’ motivation have a higher impact on job

performance (0.18) in segment 2 than in segment 1 (0.138). DISCUSSION This research’s primary objective is to highlight the influence of motivation on teachers’ job performance at private

schools. The present study collected the data through a survey questionnaire using a random sampling technique from Mirpurkhas City, Pakistan, private school. After reviewing the extent of

related literature, three research hypotheses have been formulated to support the study hence identifying and analyzing the influence of motivation on teachers’ job performance in private

schools. This research is one of the rare research conducted in this region that includes different predictors regarding motivation. This study explores the contribution of self-determined

motivation, the influence of non-self-determined motivation, and factors affecting teachers’ motivation on teachers’ job performance. The results of research hypothesis one revealed that

self-determined motivation significantly impacts teachers’ job performance with significant results. It concludes that teachers perform well when satisfied and feel pleasure. This study

aligns with the SDT, which states that meeting one’s psychological needs optimizes performance (Ryan and Deci, 2000b). Self-determined motivation increases employee motivation and encourages

positive results such as well-being, commitment, and engagement. The researcher revealed that self-determined work motivation predicts job outcomes (Lam and Gurland, 2008). In the teachers’

daily performance, the significance of motivation cannot be overlooked, particularly when one is honored for getting rewards for the work performed and feeling contentment on the job. It is

generally well-known that any form of individual will be enhanced by increasing motivation. It is valuable to consider that motivation plays an essential role in teachers’ daily performance

in private schools. The findings of research hypothesis two showed that non-self-determined motivation has a significant relationship with teachers’ job performance. It presents that once

teachers are externally motivated in terms of job security, rewards and compensation for their performance become high. The results are relevant to the previous study conducted by Khwaja et

al. (2018) discovered that all external factors positively and significantly influence employees. Hence, it is evident that any form of performance is an outcome of encouragement received

from the organization, which eventually improves their performance and increases productivity. The results of research hypothesis three disclosed that factors influencing teachers’

motivation significantly impact job performance. It showed that factors that motivate teachers are a fair promotion system, adequate resources, a good working environment, incentives, high

employee salaries, supervision practices, training and development, good organizational guidelines, and performance appraisal. Here the findings of the study agreed with the study conducted

by Forson et al. (2021), who concluded that motivational factors such as Employee compensation, job design, performance management and atmosphere are significant predictors of teachers’ job

performance at schools. Moreover, the study found that training and development significantly influence teachers’ job performance; these findings are similar to the results presented by Asim

(2013), which showed that training contributes significantly to increasing employees’ job performance. The study observed that job satisfaction is essential in improving teachers’

performance. These findings are similar to the results examined by Bishay (1996) in that teachers tend to be more satisfied when their higher needs, such as self-esteem and recognition, are

fulfilled. Uche et al. (2011), looked into the link between motivational factors and a teacher’s job performance, and the results revealed a significant association between motivating

factors and teacher job performance. These researchers concluded that teachers who are motivated to perform better. This study aligns with these studies and reveals that motivational factors

greatly influence teachers’ job performance. Therefore, the administration should enable the overall staff to conceptualize problems that affect the school and discover permanent solutions.

Once everyone is engaged in developing the solution, they can be motivated to actively participate in resolving such problems, which will eventually promote teamwork and lead to a rise in

productivity. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION This research mainly investigates the influence of motivation on teachers’ job performance. It examines the factors that hugely influence

teachers’ motivation. The hypothesis was tested using 405 responses from private schools in Pakistan. The results of this study support the hypothesis and demonstrate that self-determined

motivation, non-self-determined motivation, and factors affecting teachers’ motivation play a vital role in teachers’ job performance since all predictors are significant in job performance.

Employees can be motivated by participation and accomplishment when their values are integrated with the organizational goals (Lau and Roopnarain, 2014). The findings prove that the factors

that motivate teachers are a fair promotion system, adequate resources, an excellent working environment, incentives, income, job security, pleasure at work, training, and development, good

organizational guidelines, and performance appraisal. This study also has some limitations. This study was limited to the Mirpurkhas City of Pakistan; hence, the researcher suggested that

the same research should be carried out in different regions of Pakistan or abroad to investigate the impact of motivation on teachers’ job performance. The study was limited to private

schools; hence future research will include public schools too for further exploration of the topic to draw better results and compare both sectors. The study will assist school

administrators in identifying the factors that can undermine teachers’ motivation and determine whether or not factors already in place support teachers’ motivation. In terms of offering

educational materials, minimizing administrative duties, and offering emotional support, this study will assist principals in helping teachers in various ways. They can give teachers options

concerning how they want to structure their work to reduce workload, provide teachers with options. Like how they want to organize and interact with the educational curriculum, give

teachers constructive criticism about how they teach and how they might support their students’ autonomy, and provide teachers with step-by-step instructions and a way to monitor their

growth as teachers. Further research can consolidate the different techniques of samplings since this research has adopted random sampling, and we encourage future researchers to examine

additional variables that influence teachers’ job performance. The influence of gender can be studied as a moderator while determining the impact of motivation on teachers’ job performance.

It will benefit educational policy and decision-makers to incorporate the policies for motivational factors to achieve desired outcomes. POLICY IMPLICATIONS The results generated from the

study will have a practical implementation in the administration of private schools, educational policy constructer, Ministry of Education, government officials, academicians, teachers’

associations, and other researchers to seek a pertinent framework to intensify positive determinants while addressing deficiencies. The study will also be meaningful to educational policy

formulators and other participants who will be able to incorporate the motivational factors and their effect on job performance in Pakistan. Moreover, the factors prevailing in high

performance and the reasons behind low performance will guide management decision-making. The results obtained from this study will facilitate the development of effective administration

policy and tactics that will contribute to achieving the institutional objectives and thus strengthen the overall education system. This study may increase the teacher’s performance by

motivating factors to improve the instructional framework. The study could be helpful since it could help people understand the significance of motivation and how it affects private school

instructors’ productivity and effectiveness. The study’s motivational components could improve the instructional structure and teacher performance. The nature of the current investigation

makes it crucial. The present study paradigm has received less attention in Asian contexts, particularly in Pakistan’s Mirpurkhas region. Academicians and other researchers may use the

findings to conduct additional research on the best practical strategy for boosting teachers’ motivation. The Ministry of Education will use the findings to improve teacher incentive

strategies. Moreover, the study’s findings will help department heads and principals identify elements that irritate teachers and enforce conformity where it is necessary. DATA AVAILABILITY
