Implication

Survey reveals strong intrinsic motivation to teach despite poor salary in university students, highlighting an imbalance between professional demands and societal rewards.

Key Points

Altruistic motives and intrinsic motives primarily drive master's students toward teaching careers, although low social status and salary signal an ongoing reward imbalance.
Evaluating twelve motivational factors via the FIT-Choice Scale, students rated personal teaching ability highly while regarding extrinsic factors as significantly less important.
Qualitative thematic analysis shows that low personal utility value and heavy job demands deter non-teaching peers, highlighting a need for teacher education programme reforms.
