Objective This study aimed at investigating motivational factors for improved job satisfaction of teachers working in special schools for hearing impaired children in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Study Design and Sampling Techniques Being qualitative in its nature, this study explored in depth responses of teachers selected purposively. Participants The participants comprised both genders with a teaching experience of more than ten years in any educational institute rendering services for education of hearing impaired students. Data Collection Tools Focus group discussions were arranged and a semi structured interview guide was used to elicit in-depth responses of the participants. These responses were then transcribed and thematically analyzed. Results Gazetted post, high pay scale, recognition, serving persons with disability and less working hours came out as the motivating factors, whereas improper student placement, lack of appreciation from administration, stress level, low job status, low respect level emerged as major job dissatisfying factors for the teachers of children with hearing impairment. Conclusion The stakeholders must be aware of top motivational factors and try to nourish them. Non motivating factors should be minimized for teachers of hearing impaired children for their retention and prosperous organizational atmosphere which will ultimately lead to better student achievement.
