Teacher's Mental Engagement, Teacher's Happiness, and Organizational Climate: Using Two-Level Teacher-School Modeling
Abstract
Aim: Job motivation increases the teacher's ability to improve the performance of students in an organization in the form of a school. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between happiness and organizational climate with teachers' job motivation. Method: The present study is a descriptive-correlational one. The research sample consisted of 200 teachers (146 female teachers and 54 male teachers) who were selected by cluster sampling method, and then teachers responded to the teachers' motivation and teacher's happiness scales. The sample size is at the second level or at the school level of 20, so that teachers' responses are integrated into the organizational climate scale for each school and school-level variables. To analyze the data, an unconditional HLM analysis (ANOVA model with random effects) was implemented. Results: The results showed that the teacher's job motivation was significant among different schools, and 62% of teacher's motivation changes were due to differences between schools and 38% for teachers level factors. This means that the school environment and the organizational climate of different schools affect the motivation of teachers. Conclusion: If the factors leading to a favorable organizational climate and the happiness of teachers are provided at school, the teachers' motivation can be improved and their performance improved in the learning process-learning process.
