Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation: A Source of Selected Private Teachers' Retention as Best Practices in Teaching-Learning Capability

Abstract

In recent years, school administrators have had a continuous concern in the retention of private school teachers. The Philippines is one of the countries who experiences a constant turnover of teachers, especially in basic education. Numerous teachers leave the company or the profession each year which teachers’ retention became a significant problem because it could cause teacher shortages and hiring and training novice teachers in the private school. This study considers best practices to promote teachers’ retention in the private school. This study was able to answer these questions: 1. What are the factors that affects the private school teachers’ retention?; 2. To what extent motivation factor (intrinsic motivation) and hygiene factor (extrinsic motivation) reach the job satisfaction?; 3. What are the best practices that would help the private school sectors to maintain the best teachers in the company?. The study used the Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory to determine the motivation of the private school teachers. The researcher used a survey questionnaire to gather the necessary data. All the questions that were used in the survey were derived from several researchers.
