Análise do contributo da gestão participativa na motivação dos professores: caso da Escola Primária Completa de Mbalane, Distrito de Marracuene, Maputo 2022-2024

Abstract

Participatory management is an approach to school administration that involves the active participation of all members of the school community in school decisions and processes. This study aims to analyze the role of participatory management in teacher motivation at the Mbalane Complete Primary School (EPC), located in the Marracuene District of Maputo. To this end, qualitative research was conducted, supported by a questionnaire, involving a sample of 32 teachers and three administrators. The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis and content analysis. The research results revealed that the Mbalane EPC poorly implements participatory management practices, such as regular meetings with teachers to discuss school issues. However, teachers' perceptions of their work motivation varied, with some expressing dissatisfaction with the work environment and others indicating a lack of recognition and support from the school administration. Based on the results, it can be concluded that participatory management can have a significant impact on teacher motivation at the Mbalane EPC. However, greater commitment is needed from the school management to foster a culture of participation and collaboration, recognizing and valuing the work of teachers.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
