This paper aims to develop a conceptual framework for evaluating the impact of motivational factors on the work results of lecturers at Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU), one of two leading multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral national universities in Vietnam. This study has considered wages and other benefits (WB), training and development (TD), working environment (WE) and working motivation (WM) as motivational factors, and proposed a structural model of the impact of motivational factors on the work results of lecturers at VNU. The empirical analysis used data from the survey data of 321 university lecturers. Comprehensive, valid, and reliable tools (SPSS 26 and SmartPLS 3.0 software) are used to evaluate rigorous statistical tests including convergence validity, discriminatory validity, reliability, and average variance extracted to analyze and verify the gathered data, and the hypotheses developed. The result of path analysis shows that four motivational factors constitute a structured system with different degrees of influence on the work results of lecturers. There is also a positive relationship between the motivational factors and the work results of lecturers. As a result, it can be concluded that all hypotheses developed are supported. Several recommendations are further suggested to improve the performance of lecturers at VNU.

본 연구는 중도입국 청소년의 공교육 제공을 위해 설립된 서울다솜학교에서 이중언어강사들의 역 할 수행을 평가해 보고 향후 이중언어강사의 효과적인 활용을 위한 방안을 탐색하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구결과 도출을 위해 서울다솜학교에 재학 중인 학생, 근무 중인 일반교사, 그리고 근무경험 이 있는 이중언어강사 전체를 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 활용하여 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하 였고, 결과의 심층 해석을 위해 일부를 대상으로 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 서울다솜학교 이 중언어강사는 초등학교 교육지원을 위해 양성되었음에도 불구하고 자발적 적응기간을 거쳐 협력수 업, 상담지원, 생활지도, 통번역, 한국어지도, 모국어지도, 교무업무 등 다양한 역할을 수행하고 있었 으며, 이중언어강사의 역할에 일반교사 및 학생들이 영역별로 다소 차이는 보이나 대체로 만족하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 이중언어강사는 다양한 역할 수행에 의한 과도한 업무 가중을 호소하 였고, 고등학교 교육을 위한 교과목 연수 및 전문 상담 연수 기회 제공을 원하고 있었다. 또한 매년 재계약을 통해 학교 배치를 새롭게 받는 고용형태에 대해 불안함을 느끼고 있어 이들에 대한 개선 이 요구되었다.
