This study focuses on determining the major factors that influence teacher motivation and their perception of job satisfaction in Vocational Technical high schools in northern Belize. The data was collected using a semi-structured interview guide with 8 major questions. In total 22 participants from the 3 existing Vocational Technical high schools in this part of the country were interviewed to get a clearer picture of their sentiments and experiences. The data was analyzed using the Constant Comparative Method of data analysis (Creswell, 1998) which uses three types of data encoding (open, axial, and selective).
The results showed that the two major factors that influence both teachers’ and school leaders’ job satisfaction are teamwork, and personal and institutional development and improvement. However, there is a third factor that affects teacher job satisfaction only and this is students’ success and gratitude. The main motivational strategies that school leaders use are having good working conditions and resources, fostering the emotional wellbeing and autonomy of teachers, using incentives and having good communication and leadership support. According to teachers the major factors that motivate them are the presence of assistance and support mechanisms, good working conditions and resources, receiving recognition and appreciation, and good communication. In addition, financial, appreciation and institutional needs incentives are commonly present in these institutions, however, teachers value financial, and recognition and support incentives the most. It appears that when these conditions are present in schools, teachers are continuously motivated, engaged and satisfied but when lacking, they are counterproductive thus the overall performance of the school is negatively affected.
