Abstract:
This study explores the impact of motivational factors on the performance of female teachers in private schools in District Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Employing a quantitative research approach, data was collected from 300 female teachers through structured questionnaires distributed across 50 private schools. The study investigates the influence of recognition, monetary rewards, job security, working conditions, and performance appraisal on teacher performance. Regression analysis revealed that intrinsic factors such as job security, working conditions, and performance appraisals significantly enhance teacher performance, while monetary rewards showed an insignificant impact. Recognition also emerged as a key motivator. The findings highlight the importance of intrinsic motivators and workplace-related factors in influencing teacher performance, reflecting cultural values where self-respect and appreciation outweigh financial incentives. The study recommends prioritizing non-monetary rewards, improving working conditions, and ensuring job security to enhance female teacher performance in private schools. These insights are valuable for school administrators and policymakers aiming to improve educational outcomes through effective teacher motivation strategies.
