Tóm tắt

The relevance to education of Herzberg's “motivation‐hygiene” theory and its implications for school administrators facing the “perennial problem” of motivating staff are mentioned. It is suggested that if the school administrator wishes to attempt to motivate staff by making use of the “satisfiers” and in line with a synthesising theory of supervision, it might be appropriate for him to increase staffs opportunity for goal setting, provide opportunity for participative decision making in relevant areas, and increase professional competence of staff so that they become more informed as decision makers. Since not all teachers want to “self‐actualize” on the job, job enrichment attempts ought to be presented as opportunities rather than demands for change.
