Conclusion of the survey conducted across degree college

subjects -teachers


According Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is most often displayed as a pyramid. The lowest levels of the pyramid are made up of the most basic needs , , while the more complex needs are located at the top of the pyramid.
such as Physiological Needs Security Needs Social Needs, Esteem Needs Self-actualizing Needs
our survey concludes that applying maslovs hierarchy of needs almost 80%of the teachers are progressing up the pyramid, since the needs become increasingly psychological and social. Hence the need for love, friendship and intimacy become important. Therefore most of them are aiming up the pyramid for the need of personal esteem and feelings of accomplishment take priority at this stage of their life
Since maslow stated that human beings are motivated by unsatisfied needs, and that certain lower factors need to be satisfied before higher needs can be satisfied. our subjects that are degree college teachers have accomplished the lower level of maslows pyramid with years of experience and status and fulfillment's of small basic needs such as secured job in an recognized institution and govt.salary.no problem of retirement and proper shelter .happy family so their search begins for , concerned with personal growth, less concerned with the opinions of others and interested fulfilling their potential.
Now while analyzing them on Frederick Hertzberg
According to his theory, people are influenced by two sets of factors: Motivator Factors and Hygiene Factors .by applying Hertzberg dual theory we conclude that teachers are dissatisfied by a bad environment, but they are seldom made satisfied by a good environment. Certain teachers are highly motivated in their work but are dissatisfied with his work environment. These 60 % of teachers are highly motivated by
• Achievement
• Recognition
• Work Itself
• Responsibility
• Promotion
• Growth
hygiene factors are equally important, although their frequency of occurrence differs considerably among teachers these 40% of them are motivated or rather satisfied in the organization due these hygiene factors - Company policy and administration, Wages, salaries and other financial remuneration, Quality of supervision, Quality of inter-personal relations, Working conditions, Feelings of job security.

Applying charleshandys teachings on the teachers is that motivation, roles and interactions, leadership, power and influence, the workings of groups and the culture of organizations. Amongst the teachers there were few who were head of the dept. and possessed the quality of club culture where one mans rule works …almost 40% of them are essential to the continuity of the organization, and have detailed knowledge of it, and of its aims, objectives and practices. They are rewarded with high salaries and associated benefits, in return for which they must be prepared to give commitment, to work hard and to work, if necessary, long hours 60% of colleges followed this culture:that assumptions of the people are rational, and that roles of the teachers ans staff can be defined and discharged with clearly defined procedures orders and rules .They display stability and certainty, and have great strength in situations marked by continuity; In most of the colleges power lies in the centre i.e. authority then exerted downwards and outwards.
Application of McClelland theory on our survey
He stated that that human motivation, is dominated by three needs the need for achievement the need for power and the need for affiliation
Almost 78 %said Being appreciated and “need to be liked in the organization is more important while only 22 %said :Being given the right status matter to them
So we see the need for affiliation is more than the need for power when your talking about degree colleges While
few teachers did admit the fact that need to achieve, excel and succeed is equally important in today’s competitive world
So no matter how much one would divulge his\her personal motivational level we conclude by the survey taken each one of us whether its teachers, students ,laborers ,big organizations or even small kids everyone is motivated in a different way toward some achievements or rather satisfactions in life.
