Under The Background Of Performance-based Pay Elementary School Teachers' Subjective Well-being And Teaching Motivation Research

In order to effectively improve the wages and social status of teachers in primary and secondary school, the performance related pay (PRP) has been carried into execution in the compulsory education school from January1of2009. Since then, the income of teachers got a certain degree of external competitiveness, which is conducive to the stability of teachers, attracting talented people from teaching and improving the whole quality of teachers. PRP requires "a inclination for the key members of the teachers who have made outstanding contributions", which has an important role in mobilizing the enthusiasm of the teacher.To investigate the actual incentive effect of PRP on the mental and behavior of teachers, the subjective well-being (SWB) and teaching motivation of the primary school teachers have been taken as the content of our study. The teaching motivation questionnaire for primary school and subjective well-being questionnaire for urban residents have been used and314teachers from public elementary school of Jiangsu province were selected as our subjects. The main results of this study are concluded as follows:(1) On the growth and progress experience, the score of class teachers is significant higher than non-class teachers, but on the health experience, the score of class teachers are significant higher than non-class teachers. However, there is no significant difference between class teachers and non-class teachers on the total score of SWB.(2) The difference among the teachers at different posts is significant only on the target value experience dimension. From high to low, there are administrator, grade or research group leader and common teacher, and there is significantly difference between administrator and common teacher.(3) There are significant differences between the teachers in the north and south of Jiangsu on the total score of SWB, social confidence experience, mental balance experience and interpersonal adaptation experience dimensions. The score of teachers in the north of Jiangsu is significant higher than teachers in the south of Jiangsu.(4) Family atmosphere experience, self-acceptance experience, growth progress experience, content abundant experience, target value experience of SWB have significant value of positive prediction for teaching motivation of primary school.The results show that, the primary school teachers in Jiangsu Province have high subjective well-being, and the SEB has an incentive effects on them. Besides, subjective well-being is an effective predictor variable for teaching motivation.
