Email this article Teachers’s Commitment to Their Professional Roles and Their Expectations of Financial Reward for Their Work
Abstract
The study began with the assumption that human beings can use their psychophysical conditions (emotional, cognitive and behavioural ones) to different degrees. These factors shape their personal commitment to their work as well as their behaviour, affecting both their own experiences and how they function in their professional roles. The research was conducted among 380 randomly selected primary school teachers from the eastern Mazovia, the northern Lublin and the southern Podlasie regions. Analyses were performed in order to determine any correlation between teachers’ expected financial reward for the work and their professional commitment. The article analyses four types of commitment – emotional, cognitive, teaching, and administrative – which were correlated with the financial reward expected by teachers for their work. On the basis of Goodman and Kruskal’s gamma (ρ = 0.676; p < 0.001) and Spearman’s rho (γ = 0.650; p < 0.001), it can be shown that the relationship between variables is statistically highly significant (two-sided at the 0.01 level). It was found that the teacher’s ambivalent attitude towards financial rewards generates a lower level of his/her involvement. The higher the level of financial expectations for the performed work, the higher the degree of a primary school teacher’s commitment to his/her professional activities.
