Abstract

Motivation is an important aspect of the life of a worker. It becomes further paramount when one talks about the motivation of a knowledge worker. Teachers form a bulk of the government sector employees in developing countries like Pakistan. However, owing to various factors the incumbents of the most respectful profession do not seem very motivated. The situation becomes further miserable in remote and war on terror affected areas like D.I.Khan. The research is meant to explore the factors that influence teacher’s motivation at the secondary school level. The research applies Herzberg Two Factor theory in the context of D.I.Khan and estimates how far this theory explains the motivational aspects of the teachers of secondary schools of this city.
