Teacher motivation plays an important role in the success of education, which is influenced by many factors. Therefore, this article examines how gender, tenure, and level of education influence teacher motivation. Data were collected with the use of questionnaires of 135 Indonesian teacher respondents, in-dept interviews, and observations. Numeric data were analyzed by means of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS analysis). The research showed that male teachers are more motivated than female teachers. Junior teachers have a higher motivation than senior teachers. Teachers with a bachelor’s degree are more motivated than teachers with a master’s degree.
