The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between teachers’ motivation levels and the emotional violence they experience in the workplace. Employing a predictive correlational design within the quantitative research model, the study sample consists of 360 teachers working in public and private schools in two southeastern provinces of Türkiye during the 2024-2025 academic year. Data were collected using the “Emotional Violence Scale” and the “Motivation Scale.” Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, and regression analyses were used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that teachers’ perceived levels of emotional violence are low, while their motivation levels are relatively high. The correlation analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between emotional violence and motivation. Furthermore, regression analyses demonstrated that emotional violence is a significant predictor of teachers’ motivation levels, with communication-based attacks emerging as the most influential subdimension negatively affecting motivation. Based on these results, it is recommended that schools implement awareness-raising programs to prevent emotional violence, conduct communication-enhancing professional development activities, and adopt institutional policies aimed at strengthening teacher motivation.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">27-45</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robert Tomšik</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CHOOSING TEACHING AS A PROFESSION: VALIDATION OF AN SMVUP-4-S ASSESSMENT TOOL</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career choice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">psychological assessment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">teacher development</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">teacher motivation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">August/2019</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2019/457-1566969462.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">77</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The aim of the present research was to validate the Scale of motivation for choosing teaching profession (SMVUP-4-S), and to explore its basic psychometric properties on a sample of Slovak teacher trainee students. SMVUP-4-S scale was completed by 1235 respondents with a mean age of 20.1 years. SMVUP-4-S scale consists of 44 items arranged into 11 subscales, which are arranged into three main categories of motivation: intrinsic, extrinsic and altruistic. A latent structure of SMVUP model that consists of two four-factor (intrinsic and extrinsic motivation) and a one three-factor model (altruistic motivation) was tested. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was calculated using the Maximum Likelihood estimation. To evaluate Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) χ2-test, CFI, RMSEA, SRMR, AIC, BIC and TLI indicators were used. SMVUP-4-S scale showed an acceptable internal consistency. Using EFA two four-factor and one three-factor model were extracted. CFA indicated that four-factor models had a good fit to the empirical data (Intrinsic motivation χ2/df  = 4.925, Extrinsic motivation χ2/df = 4.781). Modifying indexes have shown that several items have correlated  with residual variances which leads to low fit to the empirical data in three-factor-model. After the implementation of covariants between items this model has also shown a good fit to the empirical data (Altruistic motivation χ2/df  = 4.715).

This qualitative research was based on semi-structured interviews and collaborative analysis between researcher and pre-service educator that included an iterative process of theory building informed by a pre-espoused theory treated as a secondary source of data. We present an instrumental case examined through the lens of self-determination theory (SDT), a theory of motivation shown to successfully inform a wide array of psychological data concerning human behavior and optimal functioning in a variety of social contexts but that, nonetheless, remains underutilized in the field of education. Applying this theoretical lens, we document the struggle that early educators may experience as a result of the felt loss of autonomy and volition with respect to the pedagogical competencies that teacher preparation programs help to instill. We provide recommendations for both teacher educators and school administrators hoping to secure educator success and retention in schools operating under strong teacher accountability mandates. We argue that self-determination theory is a powerful conceptual model that may inform and predict the experiences of others like our instrumental case subject working in similar environments, with our ultimate motive being the better preparation of aspiring educators’ in terms of their pedagogical savvy regarding professional realities.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30-41</style></section></record></records></xml>
