Abstract

Motivacija odgojitelja složen je i promjenjiv konstrukt koji pojedinca navodi na profesionalno djelovanje. Razumijevajući proces aktualizacije pojedinca, uviđa se zahtjevnost razvijanja vlastitih kapaciteta unutar sustava ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja. Nacionalnim i međunarodnim uredbama nastoji se odgovoriti na aktualne probleme manjka odgojitelja na brz način. Tako dolazi do propusta zbog nedonošenja holističkih mjera. Ovim radom nastoji se sagledati pojavnost radne učinkovitosti i razumjeti motiviranost odgojitelja unutar sustava s obzirom na dostupnost radova i provedenih istraživanja. Radna učinkovitost kreatorima odgojno-obrazovnog procesa osigurava održavanje vlastitog zdravlja tijekom osmišljavanja kvalitetnog procesa kojim se pravovremeno odgovara na djetetove potrebe i na zadovoljstvo odgojitelja. Također radna učinkovitost odgojitelja ostvaruje dobrobiti za dijete koje je uključeno u sam proces. Cilj provedenog istraživanja bio je utvrditi odgojiteljevu motivaciju za rad i pojavnost učestalosti njegove unesenosti u odgojno-obrazovnom radu. Istraživanjem se nastoje detektirati karakteristike odgojitelja koje su povezane s postizanjem radne učinkovitosti kroz segment unesenosti. Jednako tako radom se nastoje sagledati demografske varijable koje su povezane s vrstom motiviranosti pojedinca. Sudionici u istraživanju bili su odgojitelji s razvijenom digitalnom kompetencijom i pristupom internetu (N = 221) iz Republike Hrvatske. Prikupljeni su podaci obrađeni te je provedena korelacijska analiza utvrđivanjem Spearmanova koeficijenta korelacije. Nije utvrđena značajna povezanost
vrsta motivacije sa stupnjem inicijalnog obrazovanja, godinama života i godinama staža odgojitelja. U daljnjoj obradi podataka nije uočena povezanost pojave unesenosti i stupnja obrazovanja. Uočeno je postojanje pozitivne povezanosti pojave unesenosti s obzirom na godine života i godine staža. Odgojitelji s porastom godina staža i u kasnijoj životnoj dobi češće su uneseni pri obavljanju profesionalnog rada.

Abstract (english)

An educator’s motivation is a complex and variable construct that steers an individual on his professional journey. Self-actualisation is difficult to achieve in the early childhood education system because regulations on the national and international level strive to solve the problem of educator shortage quickly which results in the issue not being solved holistically. This paper aims to understand the motivation and to illustrate the appearance of work engagement of educators within the early childhood education system, comparing it against the already existing data. Work engagement ensures that the creators of the educational process maintain their health while designing a high-quality educational process that responds to children’s needs. This engagement not only results in the educator’s satisfaction but that of the child as well. This research aimed to determine educators’ motivation and the rate of their absorption in educational work. Moreover, the aim was to detect the traits that educators might possess that are related to the achievement of work engagement through work absorption. The demographic variables were also assessed to see whether they are related to the type of individual’s motivation. The participants in the research were Croatian educators with Internet access and developed digital competencies (N=221). The collected data were processed, and the Spearman Rank-Order Correlation was used for its analysis. No significant correlation was detected between types of motivation and participants’ education level, age, or years of experience. Moreover, no correlation was observed between the occurrence of work absorption and the level of education. However, a positive correlation was observed between the occurrence of absorption and participants’ age and years of experience. Those educators with more experience and at a later age showed to be more absorbed in their professional work.
