If a teacher has to take a single course, that means.....

1. S/he is to take 3-hour class per week...

2. S/he is to provide another 2 to 3 hours counseling for the students per course...

3. S/he is to check scripts of three to four quizzes, mid-term and final examinations.

4. S/he is to do invigilation for that particular course.

5. S/he is to give input of the marks of those students in the computer generated grade sheet/software.

What Motivates knowledge workers to Perform?

   1. Knowledge workers are not motivated by fear, but are motivated by achievement – they want to see the results of their work.

   2. They are self-motivated – given a positive organizational environment.

   3. The value support – they want others to think that what they’re working on is important.

   4. Money is low on their list of motivation factors – typically they are well paid and enjoy what they do. Their chief reward is in their job and the work itself – if it is meaningful and makes a contribution to the organization.

I completely agree with Shibli bhai. We, the teachers, remain very busy conducting classes and counseling students and preparing ourselves for the classes.

Personally i do believe, before starting the job every knowledge worker should have the induction about the particular job responsibility.
