The Relations between Management Style, Work Motivation and Feeling of Stress among the Arab School Community

Abstract

The current research is based on the examination of the relationship between the level of the teacher's motivation, and between the leadership of the manager and the educational climate, and because of the scientific importance attributed to the term of motivation and its impact on the quality of the work. In the current research, we examine a part of the factors that could affect the level of the teacher's motivation. Therefore, the goal of this research is to enrich the existing knowledge in the field of motivating teachers by proposing and testing a theoretical model, in order to explain the difference in the motivations through interaction between personal variables for leadership of the manager and the environment (school climate), and the research group that has been tested, and consists of Arab teachers in Israel. The question that led to this study is: to what extent the level of motivation can be explained through leadership, school climate and work stress? The main hypothesis of this study is a positive relationship between the level of the teacher's motivation, the manager leadership, and the school climate. In addition this research claims that work stress is the mediator variable which supports the previous relationship. The research was conducted in the framework of a survey, which included 200 teachers of teachers among Arabs in Israel, so that the method of selection of the participants in the survey was random. The main conclusion of this study is that the most influential factor on the motivation of teachers is the principal's leadership. Apparently, the great majority of the population of teachers in the Arab sector in Israel is influenced primarily by their direct manager, rather than from the work environment. In other words, Israeli Arab teachers prefer to receive positive feedback and strengthening through the continuance of their work, from their immediate manager, and they don't necessarily rely and get stronger from a cooperative atmosphere.

Job Satisfaction Among Paragliding Pilots in Pokhara

“…On the other end of the spectrum, a smaller fraction of respondents, accounting for 4.4 percent, boasted an impressive work experience of more than 12 years, reflecting a select group of highly experienced and skilled individuals in the domain of paragliding. Accariya & Khalil (2016) conducted study on the relationship between the Arab school community's management style, motivation at work, and stress levels. The researcher tested both motivation and hygiene factors, so it was appropriate to consult in this study too.…”

“…The p-value (0.011) indicated that this relationship was statistically significant. On the other hand, the highest mean is associated with salary and benefits, which stands at 2.1262, revealing that a considerable proportion of paragliding pilots are dissatisfied with the salary and benefits provided by the company which was like Accariya & Khalil (2016) indicated that the salary and benefits were less than other civil servants of that country. The clear presentation of mean and standard deviation values allows for a comprehensive understanding of paragliding pilots' perceptions regarding hygienic factors.…”
