Measures to Motivate Teachers in Afghanistan: A Proposal

This study focused on job satisfaction and motivation factors of schoolteachers from the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Primary survey data from 378 teachers in Kabul were used in a randomized conjoint experiment to measure the causal effects of the proposed motivation policy's relevant attributes on teachers' satisfaction. The suggested hypothetical motivation policy comprised salary, number of classes per day, number of students per class, work desk, teacher training, and residential plot. We found that a higher than the current salary, a residential plot, and having fewer than 20 students per class and only three classes per day contributed to teachers' job satisfaction. The proposed teacher motivation policy was widely endorsed by the sample.
