Teaching is a specific type of profession with a specific mission. In this study, the motivation level of primary school teachers in Slovakia in the period from 2015 to 2020 was analyzed. A total of 1189 Slovak teachers with a stratified selection were addressed. Cronbach’s Alpha, Tukey’s HSD (honest significant difference), and ANOVA were used to analyze the data obtained. The research results confirm that Slovak teachers are motivated most by relationship and financial factors. Other important motivation factors are atmosphere in the workplace, a good work team, a supervisor’s approach, a fair appraisal system, and a basic salary. The research also confirms that, over the duration of the study, there was a significant change in the average level of motivation factors; however, there was no change in their relative proportion and structure. In relation to gender, significant diachronic differences were confirmed. Research results prove that Slovak teachers have stable requirements in terms of motivation. This study’s findings will further help school management create effective motivation programs for primary school teachers. Regarding the fact that no similar research has been conducted in Slovakia in a long time, the research results presented here are original and unique.

斯洛伐克小学教师的教学表现：主要激励因素

教学是一种具有特定使命的特定职业。本研究对斯洛伐克2015-2020年间小学教师的积极性水平进行了分析。共有 1189 名斯洛伐克教师进行了分层选拔。Cronbach's Alpha、Tukey's HSD（诚实显着差异）和方差分析用于分析获得的数据。研究结果证实，斯洛伐克教师最受关系和经济因素的影响。其他重要的激励因素是工作场所的氛围、良好的工作团队、主管的方法、公平的评估制度和基本工资。研究还证实，在研究期间，动机因素的平均水平发生了显着变化；然而，它们的相对比例和结构没有变化。关于性别，确认了显着的历时差异。研究结果证明，斯洛伐克教师在动机方面有稳定的要求。本研究的结果将进一步帮助学校管理层为小学教师制定有效的激励计划。鉴于斯洛伐克长期以来没有进行过类似的研究，这里展示的研究成果是独创的。
