“…Teacher work motivation is central to the retention and attrition intentions of teachers. Studies carried out in the United Kingdom and Israel have all revealed that COVID-19 is likely to increase the attrition rates of teachers (Fullard, 2021;Keren, 2022). To attract and keep quality teachers in the labour force to aid in mitigating the educational loss from the pandemic, teachers need to stay motivated, especially in Ghana which has a track record of high teacher turnover and attrition (Kosi et al, 2015;Kwarteng, 2014).…”

Teachers, particularly in developing contexts, were vulnerable populations during the COVID-19 pandemic. As natural parental figures for students, they had to reconcile the dual role of ensuring the safety and health of students and their own and family well-being. The external crisis of COVID-19 heightened the negative experiences of teachers in their work environments during both online and physical instruction. The qualitative phenomenological study involving thirty (30) secondary school teachers in Ghana took a comprehensive and fresh look at how COVID-19 impacted the work motivation of teachers. It was found that teachers suffered a great deal of stress in the wake of the pandemic and had face-mounting concerns about their working conditions. The low morale of teachers precipitated by COVID-19 made them develop attrition intentions. However, intrinsic and altruistic traits such as passion, the feeling of responsibility, and the desire to contribute to society and foster student development made teachers resilient towards the deleterious effects of the pandemic to promote optimal teaching. Future studies should investigate the installation of support structures that strengthen the motivation of teachers in unforeseen crises.
