The Motivation to Teach

Bess, James L.

Journal of Higher Education, 48, 3, 243-58, May/Jun 77

The relationships between important needs of faculty and the processes and contexts of teaching in institutions of higher learning that might affect need satisfaction are examined. It is suggested that the various dimensions of the teaching role serve to frustrate need satisfaction rather than to facilitate it. (Author/LBH)
