It is also explained as feeling the benefits of the organization more than his own. The aim of this study is to find out the effects of motivation on organizational commitment and to investigate the levels of organizational commitment and motivations of the teachers. The relationships between the organizational commitment and motivation are examined via Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). “Organizational Commitment Questionnaire” and the “Motivation Questionnaire” which are commonly used for this purpose in early studies are used to obtain the data set. Related with these questionnaires, organizational commitments of the teachers are analyzed in three dimensions, which are emotional commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment, and motivations are analyzed in two dimensions as intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. With this purpose the questionnaire is applied to 526 teachers working at state schools in Çay province of Afyonkarahisar city between dates 1-20 March, 2015. Because of some unfilled and wrong replied questionnaires, analyzes are concluded over 433 questionnaires via SPSS and LISREL softwares. The results of the study indicated that the levels of emotional commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment improves if the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation levels of the teachers are improved.},author={ - Sinan Saraçlı},year={2015},journal={International Online Journal of Educational Sciences}}
