Exploring Faculty Job Satisfaction and Motivation in the Performing Arts through Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory
Authors: Nikita Mamedov
Categories: Journal
Abstract - Faculty job satisfaction in the K-12 performing arts sector is directly related to retention rates and teachers' motivation, as various factors within administrative and instructional spheres influence the appeal of the artistic curriculum schools offer. Teachers' job satisfaction rates impact the classroom environment and affect the type of teaching and learning that students attain, as a lowered appeal on the part of teachers translates into less creativity in lesson planning and decreased performance and artistic output (Henderson, 2022). The current quantitative study examined faculty motivation among performing arts teachers using Herzberg's two-factor motivation theory as a framework. The study aimed to investigate teachers' job satisfaction rates through a close analysis of their continuing education, professional development, teaching workload, and motivational capacities within the performing arts department.
