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.
As a result of the study,
it was observed that the intrinsic motivation scores were higher than
participants not at leisure times. There was no significant difference in job
satisfaction scores. Due to the lack of difference in job satisfaction scores
and decreased intrinsic motivation, it was thought as a result of the study
that teachers turned to different activities.
