Contractual recruitment through the lens of the variable motivation of Moroccan teachers

Résumé

Abstract

The recent and emblematic phenomenon of contractualisation and regionalisation of resources in the education sector in Morocco, leads us to question the influential effects of this change on the behavioural paradigm of teaching staff and, above all, their motivations.

In this study empirically, a mixed study was conducted in the Fes Meknes region, using a questionnaire administered to 215 contract teachers, selected at random.

The objective is to investigates and better understand the different parameters analysed and to evaluate their experience. The data were analysed using SPSS according to an analytical approach.

The results based on the data collected enabled us to propose a conceptual framework of the main variables explaining the phenomenon of demotivation, feelings of inequality and insecurity among most teachers, particularly in relation to contract recruitment, and to address the various parameters necessary to resolve these issues.

Our findings confirm that there is a significant correlation between recruitment methods and employee motivation.

A large number of teachers viewed this as a source of demotivation and discrimination, and year after year they have continued to demand their integration into the civil service, as evidenced by repeated strikes, absenteeism, insubordination, abandonment of posts, and boycotts of staff meetings.

The survey results indicate that, in the minds of teachers, the employment relationship is structured around a predefined framework; the temporary nature of their employment appears to contradict their explicit, specific expectations, which are driven more by relational than transactional logic, and where issues related to job security take on particular significance.

Key words: Contractualisation, motivation, RH and comportement organisationnel, organisational change, status, teacher.
