The Influence of Social Values on Teacher Motivation and Performance at Bishop Heber College, Trichy

Abstract ―​

Social values have a significant impact on workplace well-being. Motivational elements and social values that affect workplace well-being were examined in this study. College teachers are motivated by their principles and social impact in addition to their pay and benefits. Social values play a critical role in determining motivation and work performance, particularly in educational environments in which teacher engagement directly impacts student results and institutional success. This study examines how five fundamental social values—respect, trust, equity without discrimination, assistance, and gratitude—affect teachers' motivation productivity on the job. Data were collected using a standardised questionnaire to examine the relationships between social ideals, performance, and motivation. Social values were found to be an extrinsic motivational factor directly linked to job performance. The findings also suggest future research could examine these dynamics in varied cultural and educational contexts, better to generalise the relationship between social values and teacher motivation. Recognising the influence of social values and incorporating them into the institutional framework can contribute to a positive work environment, benefiting both teachers and the educational institution as a whole.
