A total of 242 teachers from five general schools in Kazakhstan with low SACERS scores and five schools with high SACERS scores participated in the study, which used a causal comparison design. Schools were categorized according to SACERS score. 'Teaching Motivation Scale' and Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale' were used to collect the data.
