Role of Personal Resources and Self-Regulated Learning on The Work Motivation of Private School Teachers of Kolkata and Extended Kolkata

Abstract

The Teaching – Learning process is an inevitable part of the continuous dynamic society. The Teachers are the main fulcrum of this process. The present research work aims to study the Personal Resources, Self-Regulated Learning and Work Motivation of the secondary level private school teachers of Kolkata and Extended Kolkata. The data has been gathered from 450 teachers and the entire sample has been segregated following the Gender (Female and Male), Locality (Kolkata and Extended Kolkata) and Councils of Education (West Bengal Board, Central Board of Secondary Education and Council of the Indian School Certificate Examinations). The statistical calculations include Descriptive statistics, Coefficient of Correlation and Linear Regression. The Results show that Personal Resources which has been measured as perceived social support and Self-Regulated Learning share a positive correlation with each other. The predictor variables (Personal Resources and Self-Regulated Learning) have no role to play on the criterion variable (Work Motivation). So, it can be said that by promoting Social Support in the secondary level teachers of the private schools of Kolkata and Extended Kolkata, the positive work behaviours like Self-Regulated Learning i.e., help-seeking, self-monitoring and strategic adaptation can be increased.
