Motivation for work performance of educators of educational facilities for the provision of institutional and juvenile correctional education
Abstract
The paper is a partial output of broader research and publication activities carried out with the aim of improving and thematically enriching the process of further education and professional development of employees of the system of educational facilities for the provision of institutional and juvenile correctional education. In the article we focus on the topic of motivation of educators in educational facilities for the provision of institutional correctional education (specifically children's homes with a school) for the work performance.
The research was carried out using a standardized LMI-Leistungsmotivationsinventar (Schuler&Prochaska, 2011), which is based on significant theoretical and empirical works focused on motivation to perform in a professional context. The research sample consisted of 57 educators and the group was further internally differentiated in terms of age and length of practice.
