Resumen

An exploratory study was conducted in the city of Vadodara, India to examine the motivation levels of teaching staff in private universities. In order to study motivation levels, the factors leading to motivation were identified as “work and environment”, “superior relation”, “recognition”, “development” and “pay and benefits”. The research found that that motivation levels of teaching staff was low. The biggest factor contributing to this was the factor “work and environment” and “pay and benefits”. It could be advisable if bodies like the UGC/AICTE or other governing agencies could actually be strict in implementing norms relating to pay and benefits as well as working conditions. Currently, the focus of these agencies is more on infrastructure and other aspects and less on the teachers. This is also a reason as to why the quality of education in these institutes is declining with passage of time.
