Abstract

Teacher motivation is a pivotal factor influencing student success, teach retention, and quality of the university education. Initial high intrinsic motivation among teachers, driven by a passion for education and commitment to student development, often declines due to burnout, heavy workloads, and inadequate administrative support. This decline leads to negative impacts on student engagement, educational outcomes, and increased teacher turnover, which burdens schools financially. Maintaining teach motivation requires personal strategies, such as continuous professional development, and institutional support, including recognition, a positive work environment, and opportunities for growth. Intrinsic motivations are fueled by teachers' passion and personal fulfillmen while extrinsic motivations are influenced by student engagement and feedback. Effec management of student interactions and emotional dynamics in the classroom, along with institutional support through emotional intelligence training and structured feedback mechanisms, can significantly enhance teacher motivation and teaching effectiven fostering a more conducive learning environment in the university.
