Abstract

CAMARGO-MAYORGA, David Andrés. Motivations of Teaching Work: A Case Study of Two Public Accounting Programs in Bogota. Cuad. Contab. [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.44, pp.421-448. ISSN 0123-1472.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.cc17-44.mlde.

The purpose of this article is to identify the motivations full-time teachers of two public accounting programs in Bogota had for the achievement of academic objectives, using for this analysis the motivational proposal of Frederick Herzberg, Bernard Mausner, and Barbara Bloch Snyderman (1959). Said proposal postulates hygienic factors and motivators that influence work, in this case, the work of the teacher and his pedagogical practice. We proposed a case study methodology for this research with a hermeneutic and interpretive approach. We suggest that the research has an exploratory scope since the motivation processes in regards to pedagogy, specifically in the teaching work, are a subject topic scarcely addressed. We identified that the factors that make up the motivation of teachers of both Public Accounting programs are different. However, there are overlapping factors. In addition, some teachers were found to be motivated, despite being dissatisfied.
