Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the degree in which teachers encourage competences in pupils, how much are they satisfied with their job and motivated for work. The aim was to examine the connection between the degree in which teachers encourage competence in pupils, job satisfaction, motivation for work and years of experience. Participants were school teachers (N = 341). The study used Questionnaire of teachers’ encouragement of competences among pupils, job satisfaction and motivation for work (Borić and Borić, 2013) designed for research purposes. Factor analysis indicated that the questionnaire consists of: (1) subscale of development of competencies among pupils and (2) subscale of teachers’ job satisfaction and motivation. Results suggested that there is a correlation between the subscales (r = 0,360, p <0,05), that teachers are highly satisfied with their job, motivated for work and strive to develop pupils’ competence in high degree. The results showed that there is statistically significant low positive correlation between the years of service and subscale of job satisfaction and work motivation (r = 0,176, p <0,01).
