Abstract
This study aimed to find out factors that motivate and demotivate EFL teachers in Thai university. The participants were 70 Thai teaching staff at Chulalongkorn University Language Institute in Thailand. A self-completed open-ended and close-ended questionnaire was devised. Then, the scores of rate and responses were compared to investigate the factors that affect EFL teachers’ motivation. The result revealed that teachers value interpersonal relationships with students and colleagues along with other intrinsic motivations such as imparting knowledge and providing service to society. The result also showed that teachers are demotivated by extrinsic factors such as heavy workload and low salary which are believed to lead to job dissatisfaction.
