Abstract

In the last few years, intrinsic motivation has received relatively more attention in individual and organisational psychology/behaviour. The forces that influence motivation occur within the individual as well as externally to the individual. This research work was carried out to make one value addition in this direction. This study is an effort to estimate the effect of intrinsic motivational factors of teachers on their academic performance, in which the samples were taken from various colleges of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University, India. The empirical analysis was performed with PLS SEM analysis. A significant effect of intrinsic motivational factors was observed on the academic performance of teachers. It is also suggested that ‘Creativity’ was the most significant predictor of teachers’ academic performance. Although this research makes claims about its contributions, it is not free from limitations. Data has been collected from the teachers serving in the colleges of the affiliating university. Certainly, there could be variation in the working environment and regional, cultural and socioeconomic bias of the respondents, which could be considered as a limitation of this study. The research contributes to the educational services where teachers, students and institutions jointly ensure the success and growth. The most significant practical implication of research findings is that institutions may think in this direction and implement measures that can address intrinsic drives positively for the benefit of all.
