Abstract

Understanding the career plateau phenomenon among teachers is important since it exists among the teachers in terms of job characteristics and organizational structure. In this study, the relationship between Content and structural career plateau and teachers' motivation have been studied. Statistical population included all secondary school teachers in Tehran in the academic year 2018-2019 out of which 423 subjects were selected using cluster sampling. Data on research variables was gathered through Career Plateau Questionnaire (Mailman, 1992) and Job Motivation (Becker, 2008). The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha method. The Information obtained in this research was analyzed with the use of descriptive statistics (Frequency, percentage, charting, table editing and Standard deviation), also the inferential statistics (correlation coefficient, Stepwise regression, etc.) were analyzed with the use of SPSS software version 22. Results of Pearson Correlation showed that the relationship between the structural and content career plateau and job motivation, with the confidence level of 0/99 per cent in the negative direction is significant.
