Work Motivation:The Study in Relation to Job Satisfaction Amongst the State University Teachers

The purpose of this study is to investigate the age-wise differences with regard to the levels of work motivation amongst the state university teachers. The current study also endeavors to highlight the influence of intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation on job satisfaction. The data was collected from the 250 state university teachers of Punjab. The statistical technique i.e. ANOVA is applied for age-wise analysis and regression analysis is applied for determining the impact of intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation on the job satisfaction. The findings reveal that the teachers amongst younger age group show higher level of extrinsic motivation than teachers belonging to the older age group. This implies that with the growing age, the inclination towards the monetary factors declines. Intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation both effect job satisfaction.
