Abstract

Purpose- This study investigates the impact of intrinsic rewards (Recognition, Training and Development, Work Environment, Participation in Decision Making, and Workplace Flexibility) on primary school teachers’ motivation at the workplace. Design/Methodology- A survey was conducted using a 5 Likert scale questionnaire among the teachers of different primary schools across Bangladesh. A total of 200 data was gathered through random sampling. SPSS 22.0 is used for analyzing the data. The study employed multiple regression and ANOVA, correlation, reliability test, and descriptive statistics to draw the findings. Findings- The study revealed that intrinsic rewards have a significant effect on teachers’ motivation. All the studied variables (Recognition, Training and Development, Work Environment, Participation in Decision Making, and Workplace Flexibility) have found a statistically significant relationship with Motivation. Moreover, recognition and work environment showed the most robust relationships with teachers’ motivation. Practical Implications- Organizations can use this study's results to comprehend the effect of intrinsic or non-financial rewards on employee motivation. Thus, the research findings could help similar institutions design an appropriate reward package with adequate intrinsic rewards to motivate their employees and ensure better performance at work.

Abstract

This study is undertaken to examine the university faculties switching intention to bioplastic (SIB) products with the help of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) along with three additional constructs namely Green Knowledge (GK), Environmental Concern (EC), and Person’s Innovativeness (PI). Importantly, this study is quantitative in nature whereas a structured questionnaire was placed to collect the data from 218 survey respondents. SPSS 25 had been used to analyze the reliability of the constructs, correlation, and regression to find out the direct effect of predictors on university faculties switching intention to bioplastic products. This study reveals that attitude towards bioplastic, green knowledge, environmental concern, and person’s innovativeness have statistically significant relationships with the switching intention to use  bioplastic products. Surprisingly, in this study person’s innovativeness had found the strongest predictor among all the studied constructs. This study contributes theoretically to the robustness of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) with Green Knowledge (GK), Environmental Concern (EC), and Person’s Innovativeness (PI) in academic perspectives. Moreover, the outputs of this study help the bioplastic manufacturing firms to produce bioplastic products in bulk amount in future and uptake the market of bioplastic products in Bangladesh.
