Summary/Abstract: The study aims at revealing the factors underlying teachers' intrinsic motivation experiences in educational organizations testing the development, validity, and reliability of the Motivation 3.0 Scale for Teachers based on the intrinsic motivation approach, which originated by Daniel Pink and the works of Harry Harlow and Edward Deci. Three sequential studies have been carried out during the scale development process within the aim of the study. In the first study, an item pool has been created by benefiting from the literature and findings obtained from the structured interviews with the teachers. For content validity, opinions have been taken from the experts of the fields and teachers, who are the target group of the scale, and a draft measurement tool has been created. In studies 2 and 3, which have been conducted by using the quantitative research method, data obtained from a total of 779 teachers working in primary, secondary, and high schools have been subjected to exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses for construct validity, reliability analysis and relationship analyses to obtain evidence for the concurrent validity of the scale. Consequently, the scale, which consists of 3 factors as meaningful purpose, expertise (mastery), and autonomy with 29 items has been added to the literature to determine teachers' intrinsic motivation levels and factors. In addition, expertise (mastery) has been found to be the dimension that increases both the emotional well-being of the teachers and extra-role behavior toward the students.
