ABSTRACT:
This study aimed at identifying the interplay between individual and organizational factors and predictors of work motivation, job satisfaction, and burnout. This was a cross-sectional study, conducted with 460 early education teachers in Kosovo. Based on the results, job satisfaction and professional development are significant positive predictors whereas burnout is a significant negative predictor of work motivation. Conversely, burnout is a significant negative predictor of job satisfaction, whereas work motivation, job satisfaction, and professional development are significant negative predictors of burnout. The findings provide useful insights which can help policy makers take necessary action to ensure improving early education quality.
