Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the predictive power of self-determined job motivation factors in terms of explaining job satisfaction and willingness to stay with job among female elementary school teachers in Shiraz. To this end, a sample of 320 teachers was selected from female elementary school teachers in Shiraz by multistage cluster sampling. The instruments used to collect the data were Self-Determined Job Motivation Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Willingness To-Stay-With Job Inventory. The collected data were analyzed by using Pearson correlation coefficient and synchronous multi variate regression. The results showed that intrinsic motivation, self-determined motivation, and interjected motivation had a positive significant correlation with job satisfaction. In addition, extrinsic motivation, integrative motivation, and demotivation had a negative significant correlation with job satisfaction among the teachers. It was also found that intrinsic motivation, self-determined motivation, and interjected motivation had a positive significant correlation with willingness to stay with job, while extrinsic motivation, integrative motivation, and demotivation had a negative significant correlation with willingness to stay with job. The results of synchronous multi variate regression indicated that six components of self-determined job motivations had a multiple significant correlation with job satisfaction and willingness to stay with job among female elementary school teachers in this study.
