چکیده:
The aim of this research was to predict teachers work engagement based on
organizational structure type with mediation role of job motivational potential in
Bashagard schools. The research population included all teachers (322) of Bashagard
schools.175 teachers selected as research sample by using simple random sampling
method, filled the research scales and returned them. Research tools consisted of
Torkzade and Mohtarams’ (2013) types of organizational structure, Wagner’s (1996)
job motivation potential scale, and Shaufeli and Bakkers’ (2003) work engagement scale
which after estimating there reliability and validity were distributed and collected. The
results showed that the enabling organizational structure with the mediating role of the
job motivational potential is the positive significant predictor of the teachers work
engagement. But, the hindering organizational structure does not predict the job
motivational potential and teachers work engagement.Besides, in the opinion of the
teachers, dominant structure type at Bashagard schools is hindering. Also, the job
motivational potential and work engagement of the Bashagard's schools is at the
moderate level. The results of this study will help educational system managers to
improving the enabling organizational structure in schools and as the result creating
more motivational platforms among them, provide the basis for the development of
teachers’ work engagement. As a result, improving the performance of schools at the
macro level is raised.
