Summary/Abstract: The teacher status in contemporary society should grant prestige. We need devoted and competent teaching staff with a calling and endowed with special personal and professional qualities. The teaching corps is an employee category whose performance is related to motivational factors.This article seeks to perform not only a theoretical analysis of some aspects regarding the teaching staff’s motivation and performance management, but to especially factually identify motivational factors determining the teaching corps’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Highlighting these aspects resulting from the performed research can help taking measures to increase the satisfaction and professional performance level of the teaching corps in the Romanian educational system, and thus, the pupils’ academic performance and success.
