Intrinsic motivation level in terms of the branch; While there is a significant difference between physical education and classroom teachers, in terms of job satisfaction; Physical education teachers' scores were found to be significantly higher than the teachers of the social and numerical branches.

Intrinsic motivation score in terms of school type; there was a significant difference between primary and secondary schools, there was no significant difference in terms of job satisfaction. According to their participation in any activity in their leisure time; job satisfaction scores were not significant, the level of intrinsic motivation was found to be significantly higher for participants in the activity, as expected.
