Abstract
In this study, motivational and school culture differences were measured among school districts whose union members accepted or declined merit pay in the form of the Merit Award Program (MAP) that is legislatively mandated in Florida. Okaloosa County School District was utilized as the school district whose union members declined the MAP; Gilchrist County School District was utilized as the school district whose union members accepted the MAP. Analyses showed that there was no difference in the type of prevailing motivational orientation among the teachers in both school districts, with teachers from both districts rating themselves predominately as intrinsically motivated. School culture perceptions show a significantly higher school culture perception in Gilchrist County School District union members who accepted the MAP.
