Recognizing that teacher motivation is vital for institutional success and student achievement, the research aims to identify how these variables impact faculty engagement. This study employed a quantitative research method for which the data was collected from 366 university teachers using a structured survey, across six public and private institutions in Lahore. The data was analyzed through SPSS software, applying descriptive analysis, regression, and ANOVA. The findings revealed that training and development, financial remuneration and work environment have a significant impact on teachers’ motivation. This research underscores the importance of institutional strategies that promote professional and personal growth, fair compensation, increments, bonuses, work-life balance, and a supportive organizational culture. However, the study is limited to selected universities in Lahore, affecting generalizability. The findings offer a practical perspicacity on how to build a motivated and effective university faculty that can help policy-makers and academic administrators.enThesis
