Research On Present Situation And Promotion Strategies Of The Incentive System For Junior-high-school Teachers In Nanchang

The current issue of low enthusiasm for work among teachers caused by traditional incentive mechanisms has become increasingly severe in junior high schools across China.It has become a pressing matter and requires our immediate attention to fully motivate teachers of junior high schools in their teaching work and transform the current traditional incentive mode of "I need to develop" into an incentive mechanism of "I want to develop".This study employs case study,literature review,questionnaire survey,and interview methods,and is founded on equity theory,demand theory,two-factor theory,and emotional management theory.The investigation aims to examine the implementation status of the incentive mechanism for junior high school teachers at School A in Nanchang City.The findings reveal that teachers have varying degrees of dissatisfaction with the school’s incentive mechanisms for titles,training,promotion,and spiritual aspects,leading to a lack of work enthusiasm.Further interviews revealed that teachers’ dissatisfaction with the incentive mechanism was primarily due to their leaders’ lack of attention,incomplete systems,and opaque processes.Consequently,this study proposes a set of optimization strategies for the incentive mechanism for teachers at School A.These include: 1)enhancing transparency and refining the title evaluation system through the implementation of fair and open assessments;2)increasing the frequency of training and improving the teacher training system by explicitly defining training plans;3)expanding promotion channels and refining the teacher’s promotion system through an improved promotion process;and 4)enriching incentive activities and increasing spiritual incentives through the implementation of targeted spiritual incentive activities for teachers.In addition to providing optimization proposals,this study offers safeguard recommendations from the perspectives of ideology,system,and culture to ensure the smooth implementation of the incentive system.
