Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, grade: 75.00, University of Cape Coast (college of education), course: mphil in management education, language: English, abstract: The main purpose of the study is to explore the factors that influence pre-service management teachers to take teaching as a career. The author wants to determine whether there is any statistically significant difference in the motivation of pre-service management teachers to become teachers based on their demographic characteristics (gender, age and teaching experience). Teachers are indispensable stakeholders in education without whom no country can achieve its educational goals. Teachers are, therefore, the bedrock of all human learning, and they are the hub around which individual citizens are made to realize their full potential to serve their nation. Because of this important role, attention needs to be given to teacher motivation in order to provide quality teaching in schools in Ghana. This is particularly important given that there are many reported cases of teachers leaving the profession lately for other jobs in the country.
